Scotland

[Pie and mash]

Pollsters reckon a NO and not as close as the BBC have been trying to paint

[Berserker]

My husband is going to stay up, so are my in-laws in Scotland

[fulhamben]

how does this actually work? is it like our election where you win councils or is it more fairer and say if one million vote you need five hundred thousand and one vote to win

[Berserker]

It's which ever of the Yes or No has the most votes. It's not like Council voting or Constituencies. I presume that each voter still has to go to a polling station in their area but I guess the yes and no are just totally added together countty wide

Majority vote to win, however votes will be counted and viewed to see how people voted within areas, such as Edinburgh North and South.

cheers. at least thats fair. really annoys me one somone gets in even though the others had more votes but in less areas

Stay up with Mr B Berserker even if it affects your work tomorrow..... Far too important for sleep.
Wee Eck has spent a huge slice of the SNP budget on persuading Glasgow to vote yes and the intimidation has been at its most frenetic, highlighted by a polling station being daubed with " Vote Yes or else"

We can only hope for a huge silent majority.
Good vibes coming from postal vote we hear.... Comfortable NO majority

[Holders]

If we're guessing scores I reckon 51% "no", 49% "yes" (50-50 at half time).

Laughed too hard at this

[Fernhurst]

First result of the night....

A win for Staying together....... Long long way to go, Clackmannanshire very small sample. Glasgow might decide it

[Fernhurst]

Massive vote for staying with the UK from the Orcadians

Up Hella!!

[Fernhurst]

A very downcast John Swinney (SNP Minister) being interviewed in Perth as he surveys a 60% to 40% reverse for the Yes vote........

Things are going so well ( BBC reporting West Lothian has voted No) I might grab some sleep!

If this continues, time for Salmond to resign ....... :Get Coat gif:

This link will give you more idea and yes as Berserker said it's total votes not counties or constituencies which I think is better than the UK system.
On the link there is another link "Results in detail" under the NO/YES on the right.
This really gives an idea as to how it all works.

At the moment it's a spanking, something like 65%/35%  

McCormack won't need a passport !

[Fernhurst]

Salmond and Magath out within the same 24 hours.

More results, Fife, Falkirk and Midlothian voting NO.
Well done Scotland ..... Did not buckle under arrogant SNP campaign and has proved so many people wrong (including me) who thought the man and his party were doing a lot better than they actually were.

Canny Scots ....... So pleased.....Night night sleep soundly.

[fulhamben]

where are you getting results from? midlothian only just declared live on the bbc nearly an hour later

[fulhamben]

this gonna be close. interestingly the mp for shetlands has said that they will be holding talks about whether it will be in there interest to break away from scotland if its a yes vote

[fulhamben]

i reckon the rejected vote has a chance of winning this

[Sgt Fulham]

The No vote seems to be running away with it sp far but theres still a lobg way to go.
