Scotland has voted No to independence by a margin of 55 percent to 45 percent, and Alex Salmond has resigned as First Minister. The Queen is relieved, pound sterling has risen and David Cameron is left with the headache of delivering devolution max. That’s the greater powers for Scotland that he kept off the ballot paper at the start, but that the 3 Unionist parties had to promise in the last week of the campaign to win the vote. Even so, over 1.5 million people voted for the break-up of the Union. And the vote has now opened a much deeper debate about what the United Kingdom will be in the 21st century. To discuss this John Rees is joined by Moeen Yassen, Managing Director of Global Vision 2000; Shiraz Ahmed, a political columnist, blogger and commentator; and David Walker, a journalist at the Guardian.
