Isn't democracy a wonderful thing.

The majority of the people of Scotland have spoken. Alex wanted a vote, he got it, he lost. In future that may well change, if that's the case; so be it.
Now he should be focusing on what areas his own campaign let voters down instead of blaming all and sundry for it's failure.
