...whose party was elected into Holyrood in 2007 with a landslide victory. Who spent his entire political career pushing for an agenda for those who supported him, which he delivered to them on Thursday. Job done, he did what he promised. Gave Scotland the choice.

...and lost. 


Depends on perspective. He, personally, wanted independence. But it wasn't just about him. He promised the referendum, but put it in the hands of the people of Scotland to make the decision for themselves. 

Better together might have won the referendum, but YES Scotland sure won the campaign. 45%, thats not as small a percentage as it was even 6 months ago. I'm telling you, it'll come up again. 

Isn't it at least 10 years before another referendum can take place? A lot can change and hopefully UK politics can sort itself out in that time.

Edit: Nice to see Highwaystar still gets a mention on these forums via your sig.
