The BBC is now (tentatively) calling the vote, with the NOs appearing to have a fairly insurmountable 200,000-vote lead and only eight counts to go.
Alas, the kingdom remains united and Britain remains great. How disappointing.
Spain must breath a sign of relief.  RE: Un-United Kingdom

Where's the problem?Same problem they faced in 1919-1922 when the country was called "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland". Though it's looking unlikely that the referendum has passed.

You are talking about some future names, not the existing ones.No, the current name of the UK is: The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It was previously The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. "Great Britain" in the name refers to the physical island, it doesn't refer to the old Kingdom of GB. They voted whether to leave the UK, not GB.

Looks like you Brits are going to be stuck with them.

If only we should be that lucky.
Unfortunately, it appears the wage of of the unconscionable land grab against Mexico during the Mexican war is to suffer forever the stigma and humiliation of having Texas.  RE: Un-United Kingdom

Well, we appear to be saddled with our friends in the north. Should we be worried about the 45% who aren't happy about it?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Joking aside, I've never seen American politics so polarised, or so geographically split. Stranger things have happened. Just for God sake take any nukes out before you let them go OK?

I'd like England to get the opportunity to vote for independence from the rest of the UK and have our own English parliament.
