Scottish Independence Debate

I think they were estimating that around 20% of the country had voted by 9am but a) that will include postal votes and b) there's a always a before work rush which clams down. I think it'll be about 85-90%, higher than I'd originally thought.

 

Why?

 

Kala knows people and then will post it on here.

 

I like the way the Moopy exit poll is 100% no at the moment.

 

Someone on my facebook has popped up to announce he voted yes. That was after he accidentally spoiled his ballot and had to ask for another one.

 

Another NO here

 

I didn't vote No, sorry Madison

 

Can we have an indication of how the UNDECIDED vote is going?

WHERE IS COB?

 

Oh COB

 

Ohhhhkrrrrr

 

That was definitely a Laganja moment there COB. You're lucky next moopyrate isn't any time soon.

 

Moopy really feels like the opposite of the alleged public atmosphere here in Scotland (well according to the media but shhhh) - worried about the NO GANG piling onto me now

 

I think we will have a good indication from first few results.

 

COB really let the side down tonight.

 

This timeline says the FIRST declarations are at 2am.

Plus we have no exit polls... that is going to be a BORING four hours for those staying up. I'm thinking of napping and then watching 2-5am.

 

I have a 6am wake-up call tomorrow. I really hope I don't see a BBC news alert.

 

Well that's obviously coz only Yes voters have something to celebrate, the major change they're hoping for.

 

I would just like to say to all the Scottish (NOs), I love you all <3

 

Well that's what I mean, the first few results will give a good indication of how it will end up.

 

I really do think it's going to be a No result when all's said and done. There's no chance so many polls can be wrong, is there?


(No really, is there? PENNY?!)

 

The odds are now 1/6 for no and 4/1 for YES

Which may mean nothing. But yes was 5/2 earlier today.

 

Whilst I sadly didn't have to crowd surf to the ballot (although I wasn't exactly imagining the same frenzy there was to get a good spot in Madge's Golden Triangle), there was a lot of activity out and about the place, which I rather enjoyed.

 

It's going to be a No just like what happened with Quebec. The majority of the undecided will most likely vote no. (According to my newspaper)

 

Right, Scotland, you've had your fun now.

Can we get back to normal tomorrow please?

 

Let's hope so babe, let's hope so!

 

People can go back to tweeting and posting on FB about how excited they are about going to Nandos on Friday.

 

It is the equivalent of sleeping with someone else. They got it out of their system, but some shit will have to hit some fan somewhere.

 

I'm pretty sure it will be a NO but I just want to KNOW and MOVE ON now

Even more so when you live with a militant YES

 

Oh poor Crash!

u (think it'll be) ok (tomorrow) hun?

 

Entirely unsourced rumours flying on Twitter that a polling station in Falkirk has closed early due to 100% turnout

EDIT - never mind, it's bollocks

 

I'd like an independent Scotland for my birthday.

 

It wouldn't be independent if you controlled it.

 

I'll settle for an Aran jumper then.

But seriously, I hope it's a yes. After all the excitement a no vote would be such an anticlimax.

 

After all this fuss I don't just want a NO vote, I want a NO vote an Westminister rebellion to scrap the Barnett formula and deny Scotland devo max.

 

Don't worry, I'm sure that won't be far off the truth. I think I posted here months ago that my big worry was that after a No vote we'll get completely hammered by Westminster for even bringing things to this stage - and nothing that's happened since has changed my mind on that.

 

Scotland will be no more hammered by the scrapping of Barnett than London is now.

 

There you go, Scotland should become independent because it'll be... exciting for a few hours after the results.

 

I'd very much be in the "FUCK OFF SCOTLAND, and TAKE 'THE NORTH' WITH YOU as a LEAVING PRESENT" camp, but that thought of neverending tory rule has me hoping for a No vote. Always winter, never christmas.

I can definitely understand why a large chunk of scots want out though. For starters it often (imo) feels like the UK is run by out of touch, contemptible london-centric little cunts like me in the above paragraph
