UK PM on historic NO vote: We have heard the voice of Scotland
September 19, 2014

UK Prime Minister David Cameron addresses his nation in the aftermath of the historic Scottish referendum. Scotland voted to stay with the United Kingdom.

Cameron says, "We have heard the voice of Scotland - and now the millions of voices of England must not go ignored. Scottish people have been heard, now it is the turn of England to make their voices heard."

Cameron called for a moment that everyone "comes together to build that better, brighter future for our entire United Kingdom".

He said he was delighted the UK would remain together and called for national unity.

The result became a mathematical certainty at 06:08 (GMT), as the returning officer in Fife announced a comfortable No vote. CNN puts the count at 56 (No) to 46 (Yes).
