Prime Minister David Cameron's finest hour. The UK is going to become a federal state. There is no going back to the past. The unitary UK of 1707 died Thursday night. A new one will arise in its place.

I know Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg discouraged other countries from emulating the US Constitution it is a framework the UK should emulate.

Cameron should be commended for his sense of realpolitik. The UK will have to change the way it operates in order to survive.
The “No” vote in Scotland won by a rather comfortable margin, but it was by no means a landslide. “We hear you” at 10 Downing St. is right.

Ancient democracy? I think it was 1867 when the right to vote was extended to the majority of adult males in Great Britain.
If they will have "English only" MPs voting on matters affecting the English, they need to have "Gaelic only" MPs voting on matters affecting the Gaelic-speakers, and "Welsh only" MPs voting on matters affecting the Welsh-speakers.

Scotland, Wales etc. voting separately on issues concerning them is good only if no other part of UK have to pay for their decisions.
