I find it interesting looking at the turn out against the actual results.  I am sure there is a load of social going on there.

Glasgow and Dundee particularly have lower turnouts, and Yes won.  So why is that? I suspect it can be tied to wealth per head, but not found a map.

28 council areas voted no, 4 voted yes.

A 10 point difference in the results, which is a far cry from the polls showing a 1 or 2 point difference.

it's now time to move on and build for the future with more powers devolved, not only in Scotland but in all the regions; England included.

Gutted to see the result. If the move towards federalism gives Scotland more fiscal autonomy and fairer representation across the UK... then it's been worth the trouble, for me.

I can't see the issue going away, not with such a deep national split. If Devo Max works out that'd be a better platform to build independence on IMO

>not with such a deep national split

Less than 3% voted they were unhappy, fuck em.

Sore losers too judging by this Google "hack".

Note the newspaper headline. From what's been said here in th3core, I think it's dead-on.
