Doesn't seem a big enough margin for YES though. Edinburgh should have a bigger NO margin.

Bed time. Honest.

Nicola Sturgeon already spinning her loss by saying that the people that voted no was only because they knew more powers were coming, rubbish, it was no anyway!

All done then - No wins.

happy that we stay as one and that Scotland stay within the Union to keep us united and Great

But i hope this is a wake up call for Westminster to realise that there is more than just London

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Fair result, brilliant turnout.
Well done Scotland.
I think Gordon Brown won the vote late in the day by galvanising the Labour voters.
Very concerned that Cameron will now be unable to deliver the promises he has made on behalf of the Westminster parties

I hope this will now result in a much needed overhaul of UK politics giving greater power to the regions and less power to Westminster.

What did the No voters vote for? Was it Devo Max that swung some of them to No, or was it the status quo they always wanted? The offer of Devo Max may have been made in good faith but will it satisfy both sides of the debate?

 

[Coatsy79]

Well done Scotland

Bet there's a lot of sleepy people up there today!

 

[Imurg]

Strictly speaking, anyone who voted No simply voted against Scotland becoming an Independent Country ...that was, after all, the only question on the ballot paper.
Everything else is pure Politics

 

[MadAdey]

Been sat here all night with my phone using the live updating page on the BBC website showing how the voting was going. My condolences to any forumers that wanted the 'YES' vote.

 

[Andy808]

So after all that they aren't going!
Bet they keep bleating on about being run by westminster, controlled by another country blah blah blah.

English female golfers are the real winners from yesterday. As they can now be members of the R&A without the need for a passport. Happy days.
