It was a referendum. I like the idea of a direct decision by the people, but I don't consider this a real vote since they had yet to establish any guidelines as to what an independent Scotland really means. That would be like voting to decriminalize medical marijuana on a federal level without setting up a new standard that each state would have to abide by when giving prescriptions.

Yeah i can see how some people who may want Scotland to be it's own country may have voted against doing it this way since there doesn't seem to have been a plan in place for how to set up or run the country.

If I were going to vote for something like that I would want details and a plan in place before voting yes.

One thing is for sure this is sure to be talked about for years to come.
