Good old Alex and Nicola,, cost the whole of the uk a bundel of money because of your ego's

You failed in what you set out to do ,, was rejected, so time to go. How can you stay,, prehaps claim victory getting more powers? No think the salary , benifits and nice pension might stop you. Didnt you say at one point Cameron wouldnt be able to justify staying as priminster if it was a yes ?

Salmond did say that Cameron should go if the vote was a yes vote. So now the sane should apply to salmond. Where is salmond the mp for anyway. Maybe he wont get elected again

The campaign to have the vote was I believe capped for both camps at 1.5 million each

So not a great deal in today's high finance cock ups

Salmon won't be voted as first minister again im sure but not because he lost this vote

Either vote would have been good for Scotland as its making Westminster rethink the way it does things but it's not so good for the rest of the UK as Cameron is going to make sure the voting system is changed (as was announced this morning)

I think it was well worth the money. And I'm an English No voter.

I think the political shake up to come in the next few months will be good, and hopefully at the next general election more people across the UK will be engaged enough follow the Scots example and vote. Rather than sit on their fat arses moaning about how it makes no difference like 40% of them usually do.

Erm ?

Up to 90 % voted and the result ?

No difference lol (muttered tongue in cheek)

I think the vote worth while , the high percentage yes vote should count for something ?

Yeah i think that's the point they were making, that in just elections at least 40 percent of those who could vote choose not to yet still moan when the status quo is maintained to the detriment of everyone. This vote showed what happens when people stand up and use their voice. No matter what the end outcome was, westminster definitely noticed. And the high result of yes votes was definitely marked.

Will agree , it's made people polictically aware, and hopefully some progress will be made in england to equal things out abit.

But the above post is like europe said to ireland 'you will keep voteing untill we get the answer we want '

We all need to get on with life now

"Democracy at it's best, worth every penny. "

this..

the engagement by the young and that 400,000 ish folks registered to vote who were eligible and took part is worth every penny..

hats off to the people in Scotland for setting a high standard of participation that I sincerely hope 'us lot' south of the border follow to some extent..

its the apathy that drives us down and lets the system flourish often for the benefit of the minority..

There's a crowd of TV cameras/reporters outside his official residence today... waiting. I think they'll be waiting a while.

I hope you're wrong though, I'd like to think that people can put politics aside and remain civil and dignified. I'd also like to think that everyone remains passionate about it but channel it in a worthy direction.

I do hope so too but some may feel that the vote was too close ....what I do really admire was the turnout to vote it showed just how passionately the scots felt about the whole process...

Hang on a minute, whilst I dislike our parasitic politicians of ALL parties, I seem to recollect it was the muppet Brown that came out first spouting what we would the Scots whilst Cameron, Clegg and Millipeed followed on!...once parliament get back after recess things will be discussed then very little will change.

The main thing I want to see is some way that Scottish MP's are stopped from voting and debating issues mainly effecting south of the border...without another tier of expensive governtment.

What a load of total garbage. Who back both campaigns is a matter of public record. I think you should really get your facts correct for a change please. This has been the issue with a lot of the YES supporters you just did not 1. Read the SNP WhitePaper 2. Do your own reseach and find out the truth.

Sad day indeed.

Barnett isn't just about proportional population share. It reflects the increased costs of providing such things as NHS services to remote areas and the islands etc.

Not everyone lives within half an hour of the Freeman or the Golden Jubilee.

Completely understand that, the point I was making is you can't separate decisions being made north and south of the border and say it's 'them' making 'us' pay for it and so forth.

Also if you research Barnett you'll understand how much Wales gets totally shafted by the existing formula in comparison to Scotland.

Read this just now - quite surprising numbers!!

And does show how independence could cause some major financial headaches for any nation looking to split from England!

The campaign costs are small. The costs of preparing for the referendum and the costs of running the election, hiring polling stations, paying the staff etc. (this is the one bit I think is a swizz and could be handled better to reduce the costs).

The UK AV referendum cost £58m and would was reported that it would have cost £90m if it was a standalone election. I haven't seen the costs for the Scottish referendum.

Campaign costs are completely separate.

When people don't use their vote that is a waste of public money.
