Scotland To Remain Part Of The United Kingdom After Referendum Votes

 Scotland has voted yesterday and will remain part of the United Kingdom along with England, Wales and Northern Ireland. This follows a historic referendum vote where majority of voters rejected the possibility of Scotland breaking away and becoming an independent nation.

In a televised statement, the Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond admitted defeat in Scotland's independence referendum and urged the rest of Scotland to do the same.He thanked Scotland for the 1.6 million votes for Scottish independence.
More than 4.2 million people registered to vote on the question: "Should Scotland be an independent country?"A Yes vote for independence would have meant that Scotland, with its population of about 5.3 million people, splits from the rest of the United Kingdom, made up of England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
British Prime Minister David Cameron will surely heave a sigh of relief as he had pleaded for there not to be a split.

The votes stood at 55% for No and 45% voted Yes.
