With a 10 points victory, do you think Westminster leaders are going to regret their promises about further devolution now?

Good luck to Scotland and the UK.

No, since it would have been smaller if not.

It's in fact a big victory for the Yes. They never planned or wished winning, the whole purpose was to put pressure on London to get Devo-Max. They reached that goal.

That's quite some spin.

That's not spin, I had no opinion on the referendum. But, look back at the beginning of the campaign. Nobody thought Yes could win. No didn't took the campaign seriously until two weeks ago (it was led by some Brown-era Labour minister).

Nobody thought it was serious, because it wasn't. It was a plot.

When can we expect to see maps by ward?

Never. Results were counted by authorities, not wards.

Well in a Scottish context a capital U Unionist has often been used to mean...

To mean..... what? We're not mind readers

Conservative. The Conservative Party was called for a long time Unionist Party in Scotland. Officially, they are still called Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party.
