Another one here cheering Fontella's post.
And I think Beastofburden is probably right about the currency issue. It was always going to be difficult to resolve but there didn't seem to be anything like enough weight placed (by yes) on the problems Scotland would have while it was resolved. Or attention paid to the requirement to join the Euro if we wanted to rejoin the EU, and even the problems we might have had joining the EU at all. A different approach by the Yes leaders on these issues might have produced a different outcome.
As for the question of the referendum more widely and devomax, I think the SNP was elected on the basis of a manifesto that promised a referendum, not devomax? And more importantly, international law recognises the rights of people to self determination, which is what the referendum was deciding. So even without the Edinburgh Agreement, Scotland was - and is still - entitled to determine its own future.
I actually got quite choked up trying to explain to my eldest what might happen now. I sincerely hope we get the additional powers promised and I will be standing shoulder to shoulder with any yessers on this. And maybe in 20 or 30 years Scotland will have resolved some of these fundamental issues and will be ready to be independent. Or maybe our Union will have evolved to the point where we all feel like equal partners, in a community, and we no longer feel the need for it.
And Statisically I think you were talking about starting a new political party last night? If you do, count me in!
And with that I am off to work.
