    Can we have an independence sticky?

    Automated voting! Democracy by 'press any key'

    The Yes and No campaigns for Scottish Independence are now counting down the 99 days until September 18′s decision day.

    Yesterday, the Press and Journal held an online straw poll which saw over 2,000 votes cast on the site.

    We asked the question: Have you made up your mind? And do you plan to vote Yes or No?

    After around 1,400 votes, an issue was detected with automated voting on the site. Following these 1,400 votes the result was 73% Yes, 25% No and 2% still undecided.

    The poll was brought to a stop at 4.15pm following the detection of automated voting. The final results, influenced by automated voting, were 90% Yes, 9% No and 1% undecided

            Scots are missing out on a trick.

            Tell every poll they will vote no. Put their life savings on yes and vote yes.

            Independence and wealth!

                Bet the North Sea oil reserves on it. If they lose the vote, it's the UK's loss.

                    That is the best way to bet, pick a sure fire winner and drop a fookin' wad on it.
