Well I've got to be honest, personally I thought it was a good result and am happy the Union is going to remain. Plus the new flag would have looked a bit bare without any blue!
But I think the referendum has been good for the UK as a whole, it has polarised opinion, made politics interesting again, and forced the issue on debates which would have been buried for years.
I think there has been quite an English surge of nationalism as more powers have been promised to the Scots, with Welsh and Northern Irish noses pushed out a bit as well.
But listening to Cameron on the news this morning I was actually quite impressed with his response (assuming he keeps to it) and confirmed we will have major constitutional change, with more powers to the Welsh Assembly, Northern Ireland and the promised increase in self governance for Scotland. But the bit that hit the spot for me was the recognition that the English should have the ability to decide certain decisions for themselves.
I think this is the way forward, a United Kingdom, but made up of individual countries that have the right to set local laws, taxes and make local relevant policy, specific to the population.
It all sounds a bit utopian at the moment and we need cross party agreement that whoever is in power will honour and take this forward.
But for my 5 pence worth, politics seems to have become interesting again, we've shown the world the power of the ballot box and democracy in action and it feels good to be British
What does anyone else think?
