Yay! Edinburgh Central voted Yes to AV!
Boo! Almost nowhere else did (Cambridge and Oxford did, as did a smattering of places in London, and Kelvingrove in Glasgow).
Such is life. I'll be back for YesToPR, if that ever happens.
In other news, the SNP have a majority. Which will be interesting. Presumably there will be a referendum in Scotland on Independence at some point in the next couple of years, and then either Scotland will move to being an independent country (and those will be interesting times to live in), or the SNP will have to shut up about it for a generation (and Scottish politics will align in new and interesting ways).
I am actually feeling a tremendous sense of relief at the moment, that I can stop campaigning and return to life as normal. I am glad that the SNP beat Labour (a lot of Lib-Dem voters seem to have moved in that direction, as the SNP are centre-left and less authoritarian than Labour), and I'm very-much looking forward to observing the political process with a little more distance and amusement than I have been recently. I get waaaay too intensely stressed when I'm actually involved...
