Yes, I'm glad that it was a NO vote after all. Scotland has been part of the United Kingdom [sounds nice doesn't it? like something from a fairy tale 'the white knight departed the united kingdom on his silver steed 'etc.] for hundreds of years, so it's a bit sad actually that one and half million people there wanted to split from us.I may never drink Scotch again in protest [hmmmn, we will see.]We are all better together as the slogan says.Some interesting political times up ahead though, as Scots MP's may not be able to vote in Westminster[the west Lothian problem; Scottish MP's who have Scottish constituences getting to vote on say, health or education here and in Scotland] which would mean in effect, we could not have a Scot as PM [like Gordon Brown in the past.]Or in the Cabinet either!
