(6 posts)Hi Sibelian
Long time reader of DU but felt I had to create an account just to echo how your feelings. Voted yesterday so filled with hope, and to find it blown away a few hours later as I was sitting up watching the counts come in.... Woke up this morning just completely depressed. By the margin much more so than the actual defeat itself.
I feel especially bad for the people I know who were so enthused but are at an age where they probably have seen their chance at seeing an independent Scotland pass them by. Like you I think I have lost much of my hope (not quite 30 yet though, so I do hold out some) and enthusiasm and am feeling nothing but pretty damn cynical now.
I will be extremely hacked off if I start hearing moaning from NO voters in the future, about being on the receiving end of the Tories turning the screw on Scotland, after yet again, being unelected up here. This was such a good chance to be free of it.
Oh well...
