YES!
IT’S NO!!!
IT’S NO!!!
Those of you who know me are aware that I
am an Anglophile, I am a Britphile. Well, a UKphile, too. So, although I was
confident that good sense and the “NO” would prevail, yesterday was a bit of a
long night. Today is a bright new day!
The Union Jack bounces back!
The Union was saved! Thank God
for that, because I regard the United Kingdom as a successful politic,
economic, social and cultural country with unique characteristics and a
glorious History. Plus, the United Kingdom is the birthplace of modern day
Democracy.
Of course, she is far from being
perfect (none is) but it is my conviction that the UK plays a significant and
mostly positive role in International Relations in the world and, specially, in
Europe, where it is the stalwart against the smothering and over-powered
European bureaucratic apparatus.

Now the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Northern Ireland will move forward to a constitutional reform promised by
Prime-Minister David Cameron. An Union less-centralised
in Westminster, with more power devolved to Scotland, Wales and Northern
Ireland and, yes, to England will hopefully prove to be the true legacy of the
Scottish referendum: a more politically balanced country, with a stronger role
for its four nations, but still an Union!
