Interesting that Salmond believes the voting demographic will change due to ageing of the yes voting population. I would think a percentage will switch as they become unwilling to accept change in the status quo as they get older. Seems that people over 55 would naturally be less likely to accept upheaval and uncertainty which might last the rest of their lives than those under 30 who may see more benefit in the long run.
Also the YES campaign loses and within days another referendum is being discussed. There's really no grounds for that in the near future so why not concentrate on getting devo max and using it rather than predicting it's failure. As T-V has said there are plenty of changes it seems Scotland could have already have made that would have signalled real intent to be different from Westminster.
I feel sorry for the 4% of the population that wanted their own oil rich country, but I'm happy the UK has stayed together and saved years of negotiation. I hope the Scots can make Scotland a fairer place without independence.
