    There have been quite a few Yes Rallies since the Referendum and this no doubt will be on going. Bye the way the revised estimates for the 16-18 year olds vote is 52%Yes and 48% No which puts them pretty much average. The earlier estimate of 71% Yes was done on the vote of only 17 people!!

    However it still remains that 75% of the over 65's voted No. A lot of this has been put down to them being terrified over their pensions - something which they may still have reason to be http://money.aol.co.uk/2014/10/10/state-pension-cash-could-run-out-next-year-what-it-means-for-yo/ but other suggestions which have been made may be as much to the point. Those over 55 have some awareness of the Welfare State and when Britain was working to increase equality, social mobility and to get rights for people. As it has been said - they knew Britain when Britain was a good place to be a part of - unlike the past 3-4 decades. If we leave out the assumption that their numbers will be reduced due to natural causes, there is also the hope that they will start to get it that this is no more. Feeling is that the number of Yes supporters will have gone up since the Referendum and will continue to do so.

    Yesterday saw a Hope over Fear rally in Glasgow.
