Alex Salmond might be disappointed by the results of the referendum.

After all, he waited his whole lifetimefor Scottish Indepedance.

However, the “No Thanks” victory relieved a major part of the United Kingdom population and on a bigger scale, the rest of the world.

Celebrities and politicians expressed their feelings, reflecting the world's opinions.

For example, the author JK Rowling said “Been up all night watching Scotland make history.

A huge turnout, a peaceful democratic process: we should be proud.” Northern Ireland’s First Minister P.

Robinson stated that he was “delighted” by the results, just as Welsh First Minister C.

Jones, who was “pleased”.

German’s Foreign Minister F.

Walter said that it was the “right decision”.

In addition, the very popular Bild's headline was:"Britain stays Great", congratulating the Scots decision.

European Parliament President M.

Schulz revealed how “relieved about the result” he was.

Russia, whose President Vladimir Putin had said that the referendum was a “domestic issue for the UK”, have ardently compared the Scottish Independence Referendum to the one who took place in Crimea a few months ago, with a Pro-Kremlin MP saying that Crimea’s referendum was more “legitimate” and “conducted in a much fairer way than the Scottish one”.

Alex Salmond has been building a close relationship with Russia for a few years.

He even caused a polemic when he admitted that he “admired Vladimir Putin”.

He also appeared several times on Russia Today, a TV channel, which is unfamous for its allegedly disinformation and its propaganda for the Russian government.

Italia was slightly less enthusiastic, not about the results, but about the consequences the Referendum will have, regardless of the winner.

La Stampa, said “the British spirit is wounded".

Indeed, the United Kingdom is a model for countries such as Spain, Italy, Denmark, France, Belgium, Germany and even Canada, for it is a country with different culutures but a strong unity.

Catalonia, Veneto and South Tyrol, the Faroe Islands, Corsica, Flanders and Bavaria all have their own language, culture, architecture and cuisine and counted on the Scottish Independence to help them gain their own.

Alex Salmond has ended a long chapter of his life by retiring from the SNP's leadership and from his First Minister's functions.

Identically, the United Kingdom just ended an important chapter of its history and it is now time for the union to prove its harmony after these hard times.
