Well the event is over and Scotland remains a member of the union whether they get maxi devo remains to be seen. It should not be given to the disadvantage of England and its people.

Many on this forum have complained loudly about parliament and its members and feel not voting shows their protests, on one occasion in our history government was overturned and a truer parliamentary system was introduced at the cost of many lives and the destruction of many families, I am not advocating revolution, but if you want change do something to make it happen not rely on someone else to do it for you.

If the Scottish Parliament is unhappy regarding any future settlement of power and funding, the option to vote for independence remains an option to them and their people.
As to future governance in England this will need serious consideration and possible changes in regional structures, I do not envy those tasked with finding a workable model.
The world is constantly changing and if we wish to remain a healthy and viable nation we need to embrace and educate our children to a level which allows them to compete on a level playing field.
Just as a parting thought the best government we ever had was a coalition of all three parties in a period of time when everything we treasured and valued was under the greatest threat we ever faced, maybe there is something to be learned from our past after all
