Which statement about the Scottish independence referendum is correct? [br]
The Scottish independence referendum was a referendum on Scottish independence that took place in Scotland on 18 September 2014.
The independence referendum question was "Should Scotland be an independent country?". The "No" side won, with 2,001,926 (55.3%)voting against independence and 1,617,989 (44. 7% )voting in favor. The turnout of 84. 6% was the highest recorded for an election or referendum in the United Kingdom since the introduction of universal suffrage.
The Scottish Independence Referendum Bill, setting out the arrangements for this referendum, was passed by the Scottish Parliament in November 2013, following an agreement between the Scottish and the United Kingdom governments, and was enacted as the Scottish Independence Referendum Act 2013. To pass, the independence proposal required a simple majority. With some exceptions, all European Union or Commonwealth citizens resident in Scotland aged 16 or over could vote, a total of almost 4. 3 million people. Yes Scotland was the main campaign group for independence, while Better Together was the main campaign group in favor of maintaining the union. Many other campaign groups, political parties, businesses, newspapers and prominent individuals were also involved. Prominent issues raised by the Better Together campaign during the referendum included which currency an independent Scotland would use, public expenditure, EU membership, and North Sea oil.
Queen Elizabeth II issued a politically neutral statement following the referendum, stating that it was " a result that all of us throughout the United Kingdom will respect. " She said that she and her family would support all efforts to " work constructively for the future of Scotland and indeed all parts of this country. "
Prime Minister David Cameron said he was "delighted" with the result, going on to say that " it would have broken my heart to see our United Kingdom come to an end and I know that this sentiment was shared not just by people across our country but also around the world".
Alex Salmond, the Scottish First Minister, stated that he accepted the "verdict of the people" and called upon "all Scots to follow suit in accepting the democratic verdict of the people of Scotland". He called the referendum a "triumph for the democratic process and for participation in politics".
