Over the last 24 hours the people of
Scotland all five million of them voted 6 to 4 to stay in the United Kingdom.
It was an extraordinary outpouring of nationalism against pragmatism. Family
divided against family. The Scottish National Party head by Alex Salmond led
the charge, Speaking with sincerity and enthusiasm he outlined the reasons why
Scotland would be better on its own . Much of it related to the feeling the
Scots have that being a long way from Westminster means that they have been forgotten
by successive government. All way voting Labour they resented the Power of Th
Conservative Government under David Cameron. What struck me however was not the
result which I believe is a sensible one provided the UK Government honours its
pledges to the Scottish people but the manner in which this highly contentious
subject was handled.
