Economists Urge Scotland to Vote No......

Generali

Quite tempted to have $10 on Yes at 140.

Alec Salmond, The Krankies, Rab C Nesbitt, Andy Murray, Nessie, Hamish MacBeth, Alexander Fleming, the Proclaimers, Shakethedisease, Nicola Sturgeon, Mel Gibson, the spider from the cave that Robert the Bruce hid in, Wee Willie Winkie, Groundskeeper Willie, Sean Connery....


Your boys took one hell of a beating.

Glad I kept to my old maxim: the safest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it in your pocket.

So that's that for another generation.

Yep.

Decisive win for No on record turnout.

The Indy question is now settled and off the table for a generation at least.

Thank goodness. I think we've all had enough of the whole thing quite honestly.

We can do it all again in 2050.

It'll be interesting to see if they manage to nick anyone for the double voting thing. It's such a decisive victory that any whinging should be pretty tokenistic. Scots have spoken and they've said that they want to remain in the union.

The Yes campaigners are in trauma mode. It remains to be seen how they will recover from this. Many cybernats are vowing to fight on. I hope it literally doesnt involve fighting, the last thing we need now is an SRA.

I think its all over now, I don't think that another future referendum would stand any chance of 'yes' being successful, with oil reserves running low and presumably Scotland having more devolved powers. It would be nice if England, NI and Wales can have more devolved powers too.

Utter humiliation for the Yes campaign.

Record turnout almost everywhere, but lowest turnout in strongest Yes areas, Glasgow and Dundee.

10% lead for No across Scotland.

No won 28 out of 32 regions, and in many places expected to go Yes, they even won in Salmond's region.

The Scottish people have spoken, and it's a resounding NO to separation, the continuation of the Union is now the settled will of the Scots and this question is off the table for a generation at least.

What a great day for Scotland and the UK.

England doesn't want more devolved powers though and nor does Wales AFAICS.

What is interesting for me is that Tory backbenchers are threatening to resolve the West Lothian question. That'll throw a spanner in the works for Labour Governments!

There's an awful lot being said about that right now, granted there is a long way to go, but I don't think that it is impossible something happens. There is talk of moving towards a federal system in the future.
