Salmond's resignation will move it on now but a serious point here. In the last few weeks of campaign the polls narrowed partly because the Yes camp mobilised a staggering number of smackheads, bams and those generally regarded as "unemployed as fuck," giving them levels of hope previously unknown, and largely unseen since the wicked witch Thatcher reigned. Doubtless the immeadiate implosion of some of the accord between the "Westminster parties" will vapourise the new hope for the wretched movement, but It'd be a tragedy if they all abandoned politics after one unsuccessful vote. If nothing else the SNP made these people count amongst the 45%. I don't for one second think an independent Scotland would have been a better place than Scotland within the UK, but respect to the Yes campaign for driving the debate so hard that the turnout represented a national vote.
