I would have voted for devo-max had it been an option - but it's not. <br /><br />I think it's all quite exciting that so many people are talking about it, on doorsteps, at the school gate and at work - and its not just something that campaigners and politicians are interested in. <br /><br />I tend to look on the bright side. Whatever happens we will all just have to pick ourselves up and get on with it. It will be an historic moment either way. And, either way, it will have significant implications for the whole of the UK. <br /><br />Professor Paul Cairney at Stirling University has been writing about indyref on his blog. http://paulcairney.wordpress.com/Knitlasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10694849211711608460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-71406454568786113202014-09-10T08:55:00.394+01:002014-09-10T08:55:00.394+01:00Glad the dentist went ok.
