"The people of Scotland has spoken.It is a clear result.,"British Prime Minister David Cameron said ."They have kept our country of four nations together .Like millions of other people ,I am delighted."
Earlier ,the government issued tough warnings that Scotland's economy would suffer if it escaped the UK's embrace.The late push to stem pro-independence sentiment was also fueled by pledges from the three major parties of new powers that would bring more self- rule to Scotland.
The three pro-union parties have made clear commitments on further powers for the Scottish parliament.
Mr Cameron also said England, wales, and northern Ireland should have greater independence in how they govern themselves.Opposition Lab our party leader Ed Miliband said he supported further devolution.
The financial markets expressed relief .The British pound jumped sharply before easing slightly against the US dollar Friday, and hit its highest levels in years against the euro and yen.U.K stock also rose.
Another key factor in interpreting the result early Friday was voter turnout , which was high across the country following a campaign that consumed Scotland- but lower in some places that would be expected to support breaking away from the UK.
As a whole it was a clear victory for the British Crown .People still loves to live with Great -Britain as , it has a glorious history of power,prosperity, and gradeour .
