Of course, even if they voted yes, it would've been highly unlikely that Scotland would be allowed to leave the UK. But I would have liked to see what the result would have been if not under the threat of big businesses leaving the country upon the return of a yes vote. Both sides used hyperbole but I think the 'No' campaign relied far too heavily on the negativity of a doomsday scenario.

I am now interested in seeing if they can find an answer to the West Lothian Question
(19 Sep 2014, 6:53 am)AdamY wrote More or less the same reason why I would have liked to see Yes vote.Would what the goverment are talking about right now see the UK work along similar lines to the United States, with the home countries being fully devolved(or something along the lines of the 50 U.S states) and Westminster becoming something of a federal government...cant say I understand it enough to be honest...
It would have made for interesting times on both sides of the border.

Nevertheless, I am pleased. Change on such a huge scale, with possible downsides, isn't great (at least in my opinion).

He said if the vote was "NO" he would go to America!
