Sad ending of a great empire

People who are saying ask and get devolution

Well easier said than done, Ed Milinband has already refused to agree on a timetable for devolution powers for Scotland

David Cameron has refused to go ahead with the commons vote in March 2015 saying it would be meaningless

You really think promises made on the very week of the referendum are going to honoured? And that too by Westminster?? Give me a break

We are all going to get collective punishment for what we did, in England people just don't speak up but in Scotland we have 45% that do and now they want back every penny they have spent

We don't have human beings in Westminister we have the lowest form of life on earth they are going to suck Scotland dry just like they did after 1979 when we went for assembly and Margaret Thatcher came to power

The irony is that Scotland's independence would have opened up more for England and English people but the media has turned this into some Scotland vs England debate which it is not

SNP and Alex Salmond held down Westminster for the best part of 2 years the most powerful establishment in the Western Hemisphere and almost came out on top there's no one in recent history that can claim that honour well done Alex Salmond you have done your part and made us proud

It will be a struggle to get a goodly part of DevoMax and it is very reasonable for Alex Salmond to think that he would have to be replaced as leader before the end, which will be a next referendum, so being replaced now would be best for that struggle and for SNP.
Westminster will likely be difficult about further devolution which will provide a good basis for the next referendum campaign. Besides the current talk about the East Lothian question should make it clear to many English people that Scottish independence is the way to go.

The London politicians are furiously paddling back. So no DevoMax planning in the promised time.

I was right all along and so were the 1.6 million people who voted yes

Do you think these leaders think good for the country or the people? No they don't and never will

This referendum was the beginning not the end but the beginning of a movement which will lead to the fall of Westminster if they don't change their ways

Kind of insulting for Ed Miliband to think that the Scots can't govern themselves.

Especially when you remember that UK has often been governed by Scotsmen, like his predecessor as Labour leader Gordon Brown.

Wow, that's just low. This must be a new record on politicians breaking their promises.

Or, it may simply be he likes a different plan for greater Scottish power.

Catalan independence vote 'anti-democratic', says Rajoy

Spain's Prime Minister attempts to put a legal hold on the bid launched by Artur Mas, Catalania's president, to hold a referendum on independence





I will now get back to bottling my Malbec

The BBC Radio 4 program PM just said that Alex Salmond will be succeeded by a woman, Nicola Sturgeon, who was a member of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament before she was a member of the Scottish National Party.
Just the beginning of the next phase to Scottish independence.
