I was quite
curious while following the elections regarding the Scottish referendum this
year. Yes, I know I am not Scottish and that the result would not affect my
life at all, but I was curious to know its outcome.
What was
clearer with the result is that there is an evident dichotomy in the country.
55% voted against the Scottish independence. 45% voted for it. That is, the
high number of discontented citizens with the British monarchy charging heavy
taxes on Scottish people is almost equivalent to the number of people who got
used to or “accepted” it. And something tells me that this is not the end of
the story.
Another
fact that called my attention is that democracy takes into account what the
majority chooses and wants. However, such majority is not always right, and
sometimes the majority can be, in other words, dumb, very dumb.
Who won, who lost…we don’t know…the only thing
we know, in fact, is that “the song remains the same”.
