So it's a NO.. so what happens now?

Listening to the radio it seems no one is clear exactly what the last minute promises made by 'Dave'

actually are..

You can almost hear Westminster back-peddling already.
So what happen now?

Hopefully people in England and the government will pay attention to what the likes of John Redwood have said. I never, ever thought I would say that...

Surely, on the proper implementation of standby switches, or not at all

Those of us who've been around the block before with the Tories knew that they were lying even when they made those bribes. 

The only thing to see now is how much effort they bother to make in trying to cover up their dishonesty.

Let them govern themselves but retain control of Energy, Defense and Foreign Policy.

I'm sure I'm missing something but it's early and I'm tired.

One good thing about today's result is that it means that's less likely to achieve anything, since Scotland is more pro-Europe than England.

Every cloud has a silver lining .

Actually I'm not pro-Europe - doesn't mean I want a split, but I'm not pro-Europe and thought this was a weakness from the Yes campaign. I think Europe are trying to be a superpower with unelected officials and a joint currency over different economies that doesn't really work. That doesn't mean I voted no - I might have voted yes or spoiled my ballot - nobody will ever know! 

I just hope Westminster gets its act together and we DO become stronger together rather than see nationalists on either side causing trouble.

STFU Jock - now get back to work giving us your oil.  (Cameron's thoughts). :-)

The NO vote only shows that the Three Wise Monkeys of Westminster, Gordon Brown, and Alistair Darling between them told the best lies. It must have been the best quality BS to con a Scots majority.

I don't agree with that at all.  I'm not sure anyone has been lying but if anyone has then it is more likely to be Labour in this instance.  There was a very obvious risk that a No vote with consequent greater devolved powers to Scotland would let the West Lothian question genie out of the bottle.  That is the last thing Labour want. 

Cameron has played this well - immediately announcing task forces to look at more for Scotland and dealing with the West Lothian issue - and backed Labour into a corner.  Tackling West Lothian plays well with Tory voters so he has no need to lie about more for Scotland and I think the English tories would generally accept the quid pro quo there.  Labour have made a shed load of promises to Scotland which English voters will not let them deliver without tackling the West Lothian issue.  If Labour didn't realise this then they are stupid.  Assuming they are not stupid then they either made the pledges knowing that both issues had to be tackled or they have no intention of delivering the pledge.
