I have learned many things over the years about many different subjects. One of the biggest lessons I have learned is definitely the fact that:
"A little knowledge is a dangerous thing"
During the referendum campaign Scotland's political psyche was awoken and for the first time in many many years "normal" people became politically active and took part in debates and discussion all over the country. The rights and wrongs of both sides were discussed, sometimes heatedly, in every home, pub, workplace and shop. It was enlightening that so many people engaged in politics, after all it's their lives that are being affected by decisions made by those able to make them.
Although I believe that many people got involved through the passion of the argument, I believe one of the main reasons that the referendum lent itself to such engagement was it's singular issue nature. There were only two answers to the one question that was being asked. Yes or No. Indeed there were many issues to discuss within that but ultimately there were only two camps. Yes and No.
