[old.user4556]

Falkirk had a 100% turnout

 

[Gwadien]

Right, stupid question, I could probably find it somewhere but y'all know - Is this voted by area or by people, IE Aberdeen says no, or 136354613452345 people in Aberdeen says Yes and 134613456256 says No?

 

[caLLous]

So when I wake up the UK will either be considerably smaller... or it won't.

 

[Gwadien]

The Beeb seem to be obsessed with these;

I bet they said we'll make you famous on The Day if you rig all the votes in your caravan to No.

 

[Gwadien]

Also, if No wins, we should send Boris in a Knights uniform with a St Georges cross on it to Edinburgh.

 

[old.user4556]

A lot of political pundits, MSPs and MPs talking about that whatever the result, politics in England will also need to change.

 

[Corran]

Politics does need a change, a massive one away from the posh twat society having all the control and acting like self righteous twats. That much is true.

I really am hoping for a NO vote, but with a serious look in politics and elections workings as the outcome

English politics has needed to change for years. But it won't. Not meaningfully...

Politics in England will change superficially. A yes vote in Scotland would change the landscape totally, a no vote will not really change it much other than superficially.

A no vote is a vote for superficial bullshit change...

A no vote is to make sure my long term future is protected as oppose to being completely unknown and possibly worthless. Sure I could have a million Salamond dimes, but if they equate to £0.05 it isn't going to be doing me a lot of good in the real world!

well there we go, police probes into fraudulent voting started in Glasgow due to 10 cases of impersonation. This sort of thing gonna be in the news for a bit I think, and also why I think I.D's should be required by the polling station!

 

[old.user4556]

Wow.

First few results in - Scotland are so far rejecting independence. I'm surprised at the No support in the islands.

Orkney - 67% No, 33% Yes
Eilean Siar - 53% No, 47% Yes
Shetland - 64%, 36% Yes
Clackmannonshire - 54% No, 46% Yes
Inverclyde - 50.9%, 49.1% - very very close, but that's an SNP spot that they expected to demolish. Clearly they didn't.

There's a lot to go, but there's a clear message. The Glasgow results (the biggest) is the true indicator, I expect that to be more Yes than No.

& it's the highest population, so that matters.

 

[old.user4556]

Renfrewshire - 52.8% No, 47.2% Yes
Dundee - 42.7% No, 57.3 Yes

Surprised at Renfrewshire, again strong SNP in Renfrew but Dundee was a guaranteed Yes - huge SNP support for a very disgruntled city.

 

[Corran]

well dundee result cut the advantage No had massively. infact it more then halved the lead

 

[old.user4556]

West Dunbartonshire - 46% No, 54% Yes

It's still about 51% No, 49% Yes

 

[old.user4556]

Midlothian - 56% No, 44% Yes

 

[old.user4556]

East Lothian - 62% No, 38% Yes

 

[Corran]

glasgow result expect soon, want to see that before i decide on sleeping or not. Even 1% either way will make a big difference. Though 75% turnout a bit low there.


edit:
Stirling is a no.. yeahy. that my vote there

 

[old.user4556]

Stirling - 60% No, 40% Yes

 

[old.user4556]

Falkirk - 53% No, 47% Yes

Again surprised, a lot of poor working class there.

 

[Moriath]

So most of Scotland by land mass could vote no but be out shouted by Glasgow Edinburgh and Aberdeen together if the difference is enough.

 

[BloodOmen]

Quite a bit to go yet, not looking good so far though.

1. NO 496,256
2. YES 407,140

 

[old.user4556]

Angus - 56% No, 44% Yes
Aberdeen - 59% No, 41% Yes
Dumfries & Galloway - 66% No, 34% Yes
East Renfrewshire - 63% No, 37% Yes
East Dunbartonshire - 63% No, 37% Yes

Nonononononononono.

The oil capital of Europe says "do one".

 

[old.user4556]

Correct, but Aberdeen and two surrounding Edinburgh councils are No so far.

 

[Corran]

look at how close the vote is though still. Just imagine what would happen if the SNP actually got concrete information on all the important subjects before the vote. I really do think that if they had things set in stone as to how everything would work then they may well have won the vote. It is there for the taking right now, but this error will likely mean needing to wait at least another 2 decades before another attempt can be made.

At the moment it looking good for NO, but it can still change. Funny thing is in the past few days alot of people that my wife went to school with that you would expect to be a YES vote suddenly decided to go NO.

 

[old.user4556]

Absolutely, it's not over. Glasgow will really show how it is.

 

[Corran]

Absolutely, it's not over. Glasgow will really show how it is.

aye, although 120k of the 480k possible did not even bother voting. So that reduces the swing ability a bit. Mind you with news about the disability/incapacity cuts that the SNP would need to make will hurt them in Glasgow given the amount of addicts etc that live on this. (yes it the same in all major cities, but glasgow really has more then it share of dodgy folk)

 

[BloodOmen]

1. NO 903,076
2. YES 738,214
