I'd expected the Yes voters to edge out the No ones. Still a very narrow margin.
Not surprisingly, Glasgow voted for independence.

This was no fair vote. SECRET governmebts everywhere.

Its important to remember 45% didn't want independence. A good chunk of them wanted to stick it to the Tories and to hell with the consequences.

Hopefully it might finally make the main parties realise there is discourse with the current status quo throughout the UK though. But somehow I doubt it. Until a week before a referendum suddenly 51% of the UK became in favour of abolishing parliament...

they made the right choice, independence is something that could happen for Scotland, but not necessarily, especially at this time

I am proud of the United Kingdom!

Man, I always try to align myself with Scotland in Europa Universalis, because I hate it when England grows too big and powerful - I always try to hinder the creation of Great Britain as much as possible. I usually also try to help Burgundy against France whenever possible.

Still 45% is a very significant number of people. That's a large number of Scots who don't want to be a part of Britain.

This wasn't a vote for electing a new government, it was a vote for secession. 45% is huge when you think of that.

So they lost the vote. Doesn't change the fact that almost half of them don't want to stay in your country. In these cases you'd expect one of the sides to be victorious by a huge margin.In the Junagad referendum in 1948, 99% of the voters to join India. That is what you call huge.

45-55 is till too close. As the demographics of Scotland change with time, the result may change.

Whatever the result, it would cause a rift in the country. Salmond should go anyway mainly because i don't like him, SNP can stay in power as they deserve it but not with him at the help.

Now we need the Scots vote to help us rid Cameron from his PM spot.

Andy Murray has lost fans, no doubt.
