Huh. Not as close as I'd thought.

So, Scottish independence lost, 45 to 55.

If this is anything like correct, there were huge incentives for the referendum to fail.  As in The Powers That Be could not, under any circumstances, allow it to succeed.

But I'd expected it to be rigged to fail by just a hair, to create political leverage for the Scottish political establishment.  Maybe more people than expected actually voted No?
