I think many Labour voters in the rest of the UK may be gloating at the thought of a YES vote thinking they'll get rid of Cameron.
They really need to wake up and smell the coffee. Milliband just as culpable for the lack lustre NO campaign and with Labours presence in Scotland compared to the tiny Tory support they really should have performed better.

Not to mention the vastly reduced chances of any Labour majority in Westminster without their Scottish MPs.

Totally agree mate. The same set of polls showed the change was down in no small part to labour voters flocking to Salmond following Miliband's intervention last week.

The No campaign has to be the worst run political campaign in history - they lost a 20 point lead arguing against a guy who hardly set the commons alight when he was playing in the big leagues and who's core arguments aren't even directly related to independence as much as they are an attack against the current coalition policies.
