Like a divided Scotland?
All that has happened is it has been made more visible. In other parts of the UK it is a festering sore. Scotland now knows where it stands and must move on, and the vast majority will. It showed the way and others, such as English regions or even large conurbations, will know not to trust the words of Westminister politicians when they promise change if their vote is No. You never know, Scotland may reap the harvest of that future uncertainty.
Gordon Brown's reaction will be interesting. His was a clever move, letting the 3 stooges sign up to change, and be the public voice of their promises. He may make a second career out of constantly reminding the electorate they've been shafted.
