Seen somewhere else but I really liked it:

"1: Edinburgh Agreement signed 15th October 2012

2: "The VOW" appears on the front page of the Daily Record - aka "Scotland's National Comic" on the 16th September 2014

3: Independence Referendum held in Scotland 18th September 2014

4: By Monday 22nd September, 2014 the recently departed but still annoyingly and stridently audible Alex Salmond is muttering because the new powers have not yet been granted.

In this vow no new additional specific powers were detailed, they did mention the one's that the Scottish Parliament has always had but for some strange reason never used.

Change has been promised, change will be delivered - but that change will be delivered right across the board in Northern Ireland, Wales, England and in Scotland. England will get it's Parliament or National Assembly in which no Scottish, Welsh or Northern Irish MP can vote.

I would doubt very much if the 48 hour gap between the publication of "The VOW" made any difference at all - my mind on the referendum was made up on the 15th October 2012 as I suppose were most of those who intended voting NO - to attempt to state anything other than that or that "The VOW" was a factor is simply ridiculous."

The SNP wanted the Independence Referendum the people of Scotland DID NOT.
