Politics Scottish Independance.....Thoughts?

[old.user4556]

North Lanarkshire - 49% No, 51% Yes
South Lanarkshire - 55% No, 45% Yes

"No" overall for Lanarkshire - that's a huge win, mining towns and working class.

 

[old.user4556]

Perth & Kinross - 60% No, 40% Yes

SNP heartland got pumped, but a lot of posh people up that way, used to be strong Tory.

 

[Corran]

Wife/In-laws are Lanarkshire folk. Doesn't surprise me that it was tight there.

I know my brother in law went yes, wife/mother/father went no's. Mind you my brother in law based his vote on facebook comments. LOL>

 

[BloodOmen]

if Glasgow and Edinburgh come back in favour of 'No' that'll pretty much seal it.

 

[Corran]

And is looking like it going down to Glasgow/Edin/Fife as to how it goes. If they are around 50/50 then I think NO has it in the bag.

 

[old.user4556]

Yes nearly 200,000 behind, Glasgow needs to be massive if Yes have a chance.

 

[old.user4556]

West Lothian - 55% No, 45% Yes
Glasgow - 47% No, 53% Yes

They're still far behind with the biggest vote, I think it's looking like a No.

 

[BloodOmen]

Glasgow was 53% Yes, still not enough I reckon.

 

[old.user4556]

Scottish Borders - 67% No, 33% Yes

 

[Gwadien]

GG.

WP No.

Glasgow was the biggest chance for Yes, and it's not enough.

 

[Corran]

Not checked it out yet, but need what, about 60-65% of all remaining areas to get a yes?

 

[BloodOmen]

Edinburgh needs to be massively towards Yes, I reckon it'll be similar to Glasgow though.

 

[old.user4556]

North Ayrshire - 51% No, 49% Yes

No way, Edinburgh will be no. Rich people and a huge financial industry.

 

[Gwadien]

Just in:- Won't find out until next week what the final result is - the Horse & Cart serving the Highlands has gone MIA.

 

[Corran]

after the Glasgow result, YES needed 63% of all remaining votes (assuming 100% turnout). Would say that out of reach unless somehow Edinburgh went 70% yes at least

No chance then tbh.

 

[Corran]

South Ayrshire threw another 13k advantage to NO. Looking like I can go to sleep now but want to know result before wife wakes up.

The whole thing has made her anxiety awful and she worried about what could happen (especially to the NHS which the yes campaign massively lied about). We need a lot of medical care so the risk of losing this affected her a lot.

 

[Corran]

East Ayrshire also threw another 5k+ advantage to the NO. And this is an area that was highly expected to vote Yes. Really does need a very unlikely huge Edinburgh YES vote

 

[old.user4556]

South Ayrshire - 58% No, 42% Yes
East Ayrshire - 53% No, 47% Yes

Again, posh people in South Ayrshire.

I get the feeling they're saving that for last as a big "FUCK YOU".

 

[BloodOmen]

Can't win now, unless some miracle happens in which case i'll eat my fucking hat ^_^

 

[Gwadien]

I want Yes to have a surprise win, because the bbcs headline is Scotland Votes No

 

[old.user4556]

BBC have provisionally announced a No win.

Also some dude predicting the end of the SNP.

There would need to be an absolute miracle.

I bet Salmond hasn't got that smug grin on his face now, his world is crumbling around him.

Arguably, as I said before, it could be, the SNP were created for independence, a party with exactly the same socialist approach could now come to power and fight for further devolution, but not bother with independence.

 

[BloodOmen]

Face says it all.

 

[old.user4556]

Edinburgh soon.
