I've read a lot of stories on the vote either for or against independece for Scotland and I can't say with any certainly how it would have ended if they left the UK, but it appears the Scots didn't want to leave after all. Scotland will vote to stay in the United Kingdom after rejecting independence, the BBC has predicted. With 26 out of the country's 32 council areas having declared after Thursday's vote, the "No" side has a 54% of the vote, with the "Yes" campaign on 46%. By 05:15 BST (06:15 GMT), the "No" campaign had more than 1,397,000 votes, with "Yes" on just over 1,176,000. A total of 1,852,828 votes is needed for victory.
