There will be post-referendum challenges that will be faced by the United Kingdom especially as the UK Independence Party will continue to make inroads and the potential clamour for an English Assembly will begin as the UK gets ready for National Elections next year. Right now, it appears that Labor will win--and in large measure due to the strength it has in Scotland. It will be interesting to see how the Scottish National Party will overcome this.
The key players in the No Campaign should be very proud of themselves --including the key Party Leaders and the leaders of the #BetterTogether Campaign--led by Alistair Darling & the former Prime Minister, Gordon Brown. If he had been as aggressive as he was during his fight with David Cameron, he may well have been Prime Minister today. Alex Salmond has delivered his concession speech and is now talking to Prime Minister Cameron as he noted that he expects David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg to devolve further powers to Scotland. This is as the major UK National Parties are beginning their conferences shortly.
Alistair Darling, the leader of the No Campaign, just also spoke realizing the work ahead. But, there is somewhat of a relief now--but it is now the day after and a lot of work remains.
As the Week-End Dawns here in "Outsiders", leaving all with this:
