So far the vote is NO.

Still early days, but the Orkneys were very decisive with 67% voting NO.

Gold is falling as the results come in.

I wonder if this could lead to a Civil war ...
BP, it seems to me that you actually want such an outcome. You want things to fall apart. There's a part of you craving the apocalypse. Now, what good will any of that do anyone?

They will reject it.

The yes side were never going to win.

They would have needed polls going 60/40 in their favour to even have a chance.

When the moment of truth came, there will always going to be a sizeable chunk of voters who would flinch.

Probably for the best.
Property acquisition as a topic was almost a national obsession. You couldn't even call it speculation as the buyers all presumed the price of property could only go up. That’s why we use the word obsession. Ordinary people were buying properties for their young children who had not even left school assuming they would not be able to afford property of their own when they left college- Klaus Regling on Ireland. Sound familiar?

The evidence of nearly 40 cycles in house prices for 17 OECD economies since 1970 shows that real house prices typically give up about 70 per cent of their rise in the subsequent fall, and that these falls occur slowly.

I agree but watching BP get excited for a while was entertaining in a comedic way.

Yes was always unlikely with the polls being close. There would have been many no voters declaring as undecided rather than risk the wrath of the yes camp.

He hates the UK and the US. They used to bully him as a child.

Nope, I dont like seeing any such thing anywhere.

Justing stating the obvious. When a distinctly subjugated people who have been ruled for 300 hundred years by what is now a failing power, these types of votes are a spark.

Dont forget. The United Kingdom was "United" at the end of a Blade.

Remember Cromwell and the Roundheads. Actually that would be a good candidate for the next release of EA's Total War franchise.

The English Civil War !

Yes can still win.

The far North Isles are known Pro Union.

Provinces like Edinburgh and West Lothian will give a clear picture of the consensus.

Scotland is not under English rule. Just about every Labour government has only gained power through the Scottish and Welsh vote.

The last three British prime ministers have Scots surnames.

They have gained as a result of the referendum without losing the advantages of being part of the union.

Canny Scots.

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.

Forum Rules: The main forum may be used to discuss property, politics, economics and finance, precious metals, crypto currency, debt management, generational divides, climate change, sustainability, alternative energy, environmental topics, human rights or social justice issues, and other topics on a case by case basis.
