Scotland, the Polls and the Democratic Verdict: 55% Reject Independence







What, I wonder, would Henry have voted?

The Midlothian outcome.

Final Results (from Robin Brant)

I listened all night, as the results came in.

Henry would certainly have felt proud to be both Scottish and British,
and he would surely have voted in the interests of Scotland and the United Kingdom.

The incredible 84% turn-out gives a resounding answer to Hugh MacDiarmid's rhetorical question:

"When will Scots people begin to know
As much about Scotland as ghosts in a fog
And not care far less?"

(from Scotland, 1934)

The Scots people have demonstrated how much they do care about the future of the country.

First Minister of Scotland to step down (FT)
