We should have a 5 year cooling off period in which we can change our minds and kick the ####ards out.

Interesting .... 55% against 45% for, now, remove the emotive vote of those under 21 -- love to know what the figure would have been!

Alternatively, remove the neophobic vote of those over 65

Securing a minimum age to vote in the referendum of 16 rather than 18 was seen as a master stroke from Alex Salmond - with the young wild and reckless  thought to be by far more likely to vote yes for an independent Scotland.

As things turned out, it is reported that with the exception of the oldest voters, the 16-18 year olds were the age group who voted the highest NO percentage.

Well done, young Scots.

Nice word. I hadn't come across it before. So much better than the much abused "Luddite" label - the Luddites, of course, were right in their socio-economic predictions but later wrongly condemned as anti new technology.
