Topic Reading-Vol.895-9/23/2014

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Opinion: Nationalists should not be ignored after Scottish poll
The Scottish referendum ended with a close result. 44.7 percent of the voters said “yes” for independence and the rest said “no.” These figures represent 31% and 38% of the Scotland population respectively. If you look at the numbers, almost 1.6 million out of 4.2 million eligible voters said “yes.”
If the referendum had asked a slightly modest way to get more autonomy, the result would have been quite different. Or if the last minute concession calls hadn’t been made by the British government, voters might have opted differently.
What should the world learn from this referendum?
Enjoy reading and learning how sensitive nationalism is.
