Scots indy results thread

You'd have to be a fair way removed from what's going on to vote for UKIP in large numbers when your county is propped up by large amounts of EU development funding.

I do love cornwall and cornish folk though. I was there last week, it's lovely.

e2a: Cornwall has also led the way in developing wind power and solar panels seem to be very popular down there as well. But then cornwall probably gets more sun and more wind than anywhere else in the country...

yeah i didnt express it quite right (bit tired) , but cornwall has a strong seperatist/independent identity - they all feel dislocated from Westminster Id expect

but as far as i am aware, although the scillies are administratively party of cornwall, they don't consider themselves cornish.

a big partt of down here is that no one local is listened to, an expert is someone from up country.

Let's get off the whole Cornwall thing which is confusing. Massive amount of factors affecting vote in Scotland right now

Highest ever turnout in a Scottish election, apparently

And Edinburgh. I'm not feeling hopeful now. I'm not sure Glasgow can swing it enough on that turnout

In absolute or relative terms?

Edinburgh was always going no, though. talk of 60-40 which i would have expected but no good the way other places are going.e

 

[belboid]

In absolute or relative terms?

percentagewise. which very probably means in absolute terms to, given population growth, but i couldnt be sure on that

 

[JTG]

Largest ever Scottish electorate

Cheers and sorry to be a pain but what exactly do they mean by a Scottish election? A Scottish only election or any election within Scotland?

 

[DotCommunist]

its owen!

 

[pogofish]

Shetland - Hell No!

 

[belboid]

predicted to be the No'est of all the regions

 

[Tankus]

Its a pity one in four from Glasgow couldn't make the effort even for this .......

 

[JTG]

Not looking great in Aberdeenshire either

 

[lizzieloo]

Not looking great in Aberdeenshire either

The turnout?

 

[wiskey]

The number of spoiled/rejected papers seem to be very low from what I've heard. I'm surprised that a quarter of Glasgow didn't vote though.

 

[pogofish]

The turnout?

No, the turnout is good but its likely to be no too.

 

[pogofish]

Western Isles - No

 

[weepiper]

Western Isles - No

I think we're fucked.

 

[lizzieloo]

.

 

[weepiper]

Fairly close though

But should have been a Yes.

 

[pogofish]

I think we're fucked.

Too early to say yet IMO.

 

[lizzieloo]

But should have been a Yes.

Yeah, realised that after I posted.

 

[Sasaferrato]

Very satisfactory, so far.

 

[weepiper]

Too early to say yet IMO.

acht I daren't hope. I know they're only wee areas and we've some much more likely Yes results to come much later but I was hoping for one by now.

 

[weepiper]

WTF is going on in Dundee. Count evacuated for the second time due to a fire alarm

 

[Tankus]

I think we're fucked.

Not really .....Salmond originally was punting for devo Max , superficially he can claim something from that ......'from last weeks Westminster panic ....


Plus ...I think he's boosted Ukips chances ....by re engaging people back into politics even in the south ...2015 is going to be an interesting election

He may not have got the change he wanted in Scotland , but he may have inadvertantly provided a catalyst for change of the status quo in Westminster's sty ?

Its been worthwhile
