They can't just keep having them til Salmond gets his way, that's not the way it works.

This was it once in a lifetime - the majority chose to say no to dissolving the union. They have been given a massive amount of concessions to further devolve powers from Westminster.

Time to put this whole horrible divisive business behind us and crack on with getting shut of these chinless Eton toffs next May.

Not quite yet Daisy....
A campaign will begin next week for devolved powers for Cornwall following the Scotland referendum vote.

Cornwall’s Liberal Democrats will meet next Friday in Bodmin to kick-start their campaign for devolved powers for the Duchy.

The party has already voted for Cornwall to benefit from a devolved assembly, with powers similar to those enjoyed in Wales, at their most recent national conference in York.

They have agreed to seek a ‘Devolution Enabling Act’, giving Cornwall the chance to take law-making powers from Westminster. The commitment features in the party’s recent ‘pre-manifesto’ for the 2015 election.

The county’s Lib Dem MPs and parliamentary candidates will address next Friday’s meeting, along with Cornish peer, Lord (Paul) Tyler.

Chair of the Lib Dem “Team for Cornwall”, Julia Goldsworthy, who lost her Camborne seat to the Tories at the last general election, said:

“As Scotland and Wales take still more power from Westminster, the rest of the UK cannot be left behind. We need real devolution in Cornwall too. Not just more power for local government, but a proper legislative assembly for Cornwall like Wales has.

Daisy, while Cameron and the queen have said the vote is done once and for all, the NY times today suggested that those seeking to sever ties could bring another referendum soon. then again, it is a US newspaper; is there any specific law that bars another referendum?
