Would I have loved to see Dave take a bloody nose from a punch that would have rung down through history for all eternity? Of course. However reading the entrails of the referendum it seems to me that the Yes side would have taken a single percentage victory as a mandate to completely trample on any opinions held by the 49.5% of No voters who weren't "wrong" they just held a contrary position. On the other hand I believe the No side will feel obliged to be more conciliatory (hooligan element aside) and thus the process of political and economic devolution will be accelerated without another excuse for a bitter societal split. From an Anglo-Welsh (with a chunk of German) perspective a No result looks less divisive and more of a win-win to me than either side would concede.
