Looking like the polls might have been pretty accurate, NO by 7-8%

Until they seem to have suspended betting earlier, the bookies consistently had NO to win.

 

[Sasaferrato]

I'm crashing-out soon.

Me too.

Still Fife, Edinburgh, and Glasgow to go though. I think Fife and Edinburgh will counter Glasgow. Still only counted a 1/4 of the votes so far though!

 

[JTG]

a painful disappointment. Yes have basically been taken to the cleaners.

 

[Anonymous1]

Motherwell/Hamilton innit?

Aye.

 

[toggle]

[weepiper]

The Lanarkshire results are particularly bad for Labour btw. That's 'monkey with a red rosette' territory historically.

Well considering when the Referendum was announced NO was leading by ~20% I think halving that (which looks pretty likely) shows the YES campaign really managed to engage people.

The important thing now for RIC is to use that momentum to push for pro-wc politics.

 

[redsquirrel]

Glasgow Yes

yes 194779 no 169347

not enough.

Yeah, sadly that's not going to be good enough.

 

[MikeMcc]

Big Yes there, but nowhere near enough to overwhelm the momentum for the No vote, still 200k ahead.

Indeed, we've always been told it was only 35% tops for indy. You scared the shit out of them
