- **Published:** 2014-09-21

The hosts analyze the results of the Scottish Independence Referendum. They discuss a theory from listener Owen McGinty suggesting the vote was a "win-win" for Prime Minister David Cameron. By offering devolution, Cameron effectively marginalized the Labour Party's influence in England, as most Labour MPs are from Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland. They also touch on the potential for voter fraud in the "No" victory.
