Het verbaast me dat er nog geen topic over was. Dus eindelijk is het zover: Het referendum is geweest en 55,3 procent van de stemmen heeft nee gestemd, wat betekent dat 44,7 procent "ja" heeft gestemd. Heel goed voor Camerons imago, maar wat vinden jullie van de uitslag?
Scotland has voted to stay in the United Kingdom after voters decisively rejected independence.
With the results in from all 32 council areas, the "No" side won with 2,001,926 votes over 1,617,989 for "Yes".
Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond called for unity and urged the unionist parties to deliver on more powers.
Prime Minister David Cameron said he was delighted the UK would remain together and that commitments on extra powers would be honoured "in full".
Mr Cameron said the three main unionist parties at Westminster would now follow through with their pledge of more powers for the Scottish Parliament.
He announced that Lord Smith of Kelvin, who led Glasgow's staging of the Commonwealth Games, would oversee the process to take forward the commitments, with new powers over tax, spending and welfare to be agreed by November, and draft legislation published by January.
The prime minister also acknowledged that the people of England, Wales and Northern Ireland must have a bigger say over their affairs.
And he promised a solution to the West Lothian question - the fact that Scottish MPs can vote on English issues at Westminster, and not the other way round.

Ik ben blij. Geen idee waarom, maar ik was niet zo'n voorstander van die Schotse onafhankelijkheid. ^^
