Having worked in the Hebs (for short periods) I'm really surprised that they sneaked through a No count! There's a massive nationalist sentiment there, shown by the Gaelic naming and announcement for example. AFAIK they can't break the count down to individual islands. It would have been interesting to see if there is a difference between South Uist, Benbecula, and the rest
 
Could we be looking at something more radical? Hearing some of the comments could we be looking along the lines of Switzerland, a national government setting high level direction and regional blocks for more detailed rule?
 
Western Isles - No
I'm genuinely surprised at that, but then my opinion is always been that this vote is too early. Give it ten years (and proper debates about the fine details) and I'd be surprised if Scotland isn't totally behind independence - unless the UK govt totally changes its tune (which is unlikely).
 
Yup - much as I'm hoping for it now, I've long held the opinion tha we do need a couple more terms of Tory-like government to really make things certain. :(

When it comes to electing MPs, the Western Isles have always been at least as much about the personality involved, not just the party.
 
Inverclyde a No. Tantalisingly close though. 86 votes in it.
Yes 27243 No 27329
 
Dodged Andrew Neil/Beeb . . . ITV saying Glasgow expecting only small Yes majority which would be a huge blow to the indy vote.
