Well, not really. I think basic, comfortable apathy-cum-contentment has seen off the streets-paved-with-social-democracy wonderland that Salmond and co tried to promise. Not much more sinister than that. That sentiment is a killer and a centre right party's most effective weapon.
Salmond described the No voters as "deferred Yeses" but i would have described Salmond if Yes had won as a deferred Nick Clegg - all exciting TV debate hope and excitement turned to the drudgery of sh it reality and delusion over time.
Scotland was not about to become the Sweden in kilts that those sixteen year olds thought.
And now, at least for another 20 years or so, Scotland can continue to have someone to blame.
