Defeat and victory plaid quilted jacket. On the outcome of the referendum in Scotland, -A.Kamenetsky

In the Scottish separatists was placed so many hopes and plans for the people of very different countries, that behind this project-mongering at some point no longer visible Scots themselves. As a result, today’s outcome of the referendum may be an unpleasant surprise to many, although nothing really bad it does not.
The first saddened by all other separatists, starting with the most experienced – residents of Quebec. They already know the continuation of the story on their skin because of their own referendum held in the same way as the Scottish: first shapkozakidatelstvo, then bullying, then, when it became clear the level of problems, promises, and the rights and autonomy, and anything else , and songs about the incredibly close relationship with English-speaking French-speaking Canadians, and personal attention to all the top politicians. After a referendum the answer is “NO” won by a margin of a few thousandths of a percent, the press plucked out of a vile stream of pent-up this fear and hatred, and politicians have forgotten about all the words, and still Quebec did not get anything out of order, that he had been promised. Thank you, have not started to hang, well, and the times were different.
Separatists day today, first of all Catalans, South Tyrolese and Venetians expected from Scotland “YES” to relieve their own problems. Them to Scotland and its features really do not care deeply, they are ready to welcome any separatism in Europe. This group does not notice the loss of the fighter, now it will be headed Catalonia, whose chances of success are much higher.
In Russia, for obvious reasons, was strong hope that once, “Englishwoman shit” will be under a . The irony is that, despite all the kilts and bagpipes, Scottish separatists – is not nationalists in the familiar and intuitive understanding us. This modern European “leftists.” In Britain in the society and discontent is growing euroscepticism rampant European tolerance and uncontrolled immigration of alien elements from Africa and the Middle East. This is reflected in the growing popularity of the Independence Party and its leader, UKIP Nigel Faraj, who has long opposed the alliance with Marine Le Pen, but eventually got into it.
Meanwhile in Scotland SNP party preaches a kind of nationalism is very thickly kneaded on the set of values from which Sweden has become similar whether a gay bar, or on Somalia. Unlike our usual continental nationalists, in case of victory SNP promised not to Scotland for the Scots, but rather lightweight mode for Immigration and adherence to common European values.
So popular in our blogosphere representation harsh mountaineers as the antipodes of perfidious Albion and decaying European Union, alas, quite groundless. In Russia, everything is so carried away with the anticipation of problems at the worst partner that is not looked closely at most of Scotland and fashioned from it a sudden reserve padded jacket in the box. All those jokes about “the Scottish people’s republic” good for home use, but they are perceived by the Khawr otherwise. Something like this: “Look, these heartless murderers of women and children from the flight MH17 came out in support of our independence”. When among other arguments Education Minister Michael Gove said the Scots: “Think again! Imagine how Putin will be delighted by the fact that the second integrity beacon of freedom has become a little less stable”, it actually appealed to a particular view of the world and look forward to some effect and not just rent the air.
It is disappointing, the Scottish independence movement of the sample in 2014 is not against Atlanticism. It is for their warm place in it. Nobody there we are not particularly fond of and does not wait and about any radical transition from one block to another question asked. People who chose “NO”, voted for NATO and the EU, which threatened them with re-entry. They do not need to come to the Russian fleet in Glasgow and defended their fragile independence, as here we have dreamed of some idealists.
What do they want? Chapter SNP Alex Salmond has promised fellow citizens all that can be: at the same time powerful oil sector and the green economy, national values and the free flow of labor from Africa, the financial capital of the world and the nationalization of private companies. It is not populism pure, simple SNP integrates quite different currents, which could be the beginnings of political parties in the event of independence.
Instead of hope for all the good opponents of the referendum is technically offered fear and uncertainty in the future. “Against” were all more or less significant banking, cultural, media and economic figures, every newspaper, TV and iron.
As a result of unsystematic SNP played against her campaign. Was not offered a single coherent strategy with respect to which the decision would be taken on important issues. Say, the fate of the pound. If Britain refused to enter into an agreement with Scotland on the use of a common currency on mutually acceptable terms, Scotland could “sterlingizovat” pound, that is to use it is still without a permit, without taking on debt of London that the papers print. For threats “sterlingizatsii” Scots threatened not to accept the EU. To fend off this threat, it was necessary to stock a new argument, the same aggressive.
But the Scots did not go for confrontation, they want more and they want a piece of the pie. They like NATO, they just do not want to pay for it. They normally live in the UK, they just want to get more from it. As a result, we present the result of voting.
padded jacket in the box, however, there now too. This is the most unexpected, the most impossible achievement referendum. We remember how readily conditional “party Westminster” consent is provided that in the years ahead the question will be closed. Nobody believed in the possibility of separating Scotland, polls showed 10-20%.
For the past year and a half, while preparations were made, SNP jumped higher than his head. The fact that at some point in the success of the referendum believed and feared in London, this historic victory. Waiting for something beyond that resemble both the first military successes militias Donbass of them have already become immediately demand the liberation of Kiev.
For the Scottish referendum was a big awakening, he transformed society. Look at the numbers, it’s vote for 80% of the voters, it’s all age groups. Every resident felt himself involved, he studied history, economics, try to build some sort of picture of the world of facts. Politicians sensed danger, they took expensive suits and went out from the TV to the people, began to try to understand the real problems of his. Disappeared ubiquitous apathy. Especially powerful shot the youth, from which no one at all and expected nothing, she’s never been interested in politics.
And amidst all this bubbling soup was born patriotic people and the active layer. Vote “NO” – it is not a capitulation to Westminster. This is a loan that is now London will pay, fulfilling all the promises. SNP merit that these promises at the end managed to squeeze a lot.
Now the Scots are confident that they now give London a real power and real authority, and include in the negotiations on the further decentralization of power from the Patriots camp “YES”. Just because they demanded it for years, and Gordon Brown, David Cameron, Alistair Darling and other mainstream politicians desperately want the same for the 10 days before the election, when the option “NO” fell below 50%.
In fact, Scotland unanimously voted in favor of the demands of their nationalist five years ago, and surrendered to London. If now he tries to get rid of handouts, we will see the next referendum is already ten years, and the result will be different. And London can not try, opponents transfer real power in it full parliament. This opens a new page in the history of both countries, and we still see a lot.
For Russia is the most interesting future fate Faraj. For two or three weeks before the first balance swung in the direction of “YES”, the contestants in the parliament once again put him up to ridicule for demanding queen turn to the Scottish people. Some time passed, and Queen Elizabeth II did the same treatment.
The Tories lost the election in 2015, as Scotland polls voted for the Labour Party and the people is growing dissatisfaction with the current rate. Faraj, thus, has a chance to hang on to the Tories all the dogs and to become a major force in the right country, and this means more chances of coming out of Great Britain from the EU entirely and focus on its own internal problems.
Scots can sincerely congratulate the awakening of consciousness. Half of those who are refused independence, voted for them understood prosperity of Scotland, and not follow the Westminster. SNP to be a lot of work with a newborn electorate, and UKIP will be prepared to fight for their own referendum on withdrawal from the EU. In comparison, the struggle for Scotland was only a rehearsal.
