Scots indy results thread

[Das Uberdog]

friend of mine who's been campaigning for Yes seems to think there's been a lot of 'No' based fraud on the postal ballots in Glasgow... lots of Yessers never receiving their ballots apparently. says the atmosphere is very tense, and he expects people out on the streets tomorrow regardless of the result

 

[weepiper]

Turnout in Branchton, Greenock, 95%.

Talk of North Lanarkshire result by 1245. Will be key result. I have estimated it as a slim Yes win with 52% of the vote. #indyref

What is #indyref?

Reliable source or not?

It's the twitter hashtag we've been using for the referendum for about a year.

What does everyone think of the ITV/STV coverage? Way better than I expected

I knew that really, hence my 'question' that you quoted ....

But I don't think polling predictions, ie speculation, from that source, or from the No equivalent, neither of 'em without any real info yet, are that likely to be especially reliable for now?

Interesting. Normally, when that happens it's either alleged about a particular minority or even a particular landlord. Is this another of those random stories or is there some detail about who might be doing it? Suppose what I'm thinking is, apart from a few of your own personal contacts, how would you know who to deprive of a vote? Postie not delivering to those with Yes posters type thing?

 

[weepiper]

Northfield in Aberdeen which normally returns about 20-25% apparently at around 80% turnout.

 

[Brixton Hatter]

first result due around 1am apparently (BBC)

 

[William of Walworth]

Das Uberdog -- that looked like an anecdote of quite questionable reliability (to be kind!), given that it looks based on entirely second-hand 'person down pub' (or twitter type equivalent) source-ery.

 

[lizzieloo]

Turnouts, Orkney: 84%, Clackmannanshire: 89%

we were watching ITV and all we can remember is Danny Rodent Alexander's wobbly chin. It wasn't very visually interesting so we went back to BBC. Can't really follow the conversation cos my mates have drunk 6 bottles of wine

Yes camp "much happier now than half an hour ago". Senior source says Glasgow "looking good for us". #indyref #Scotland

Fuck wish I could stay up to watch the entire thing.

Clackmannanshire is more YES than an 18 year old on his first eccy

On Scotland Decides on BBC1 a strident charismatic voice for English nationalism emerges: John Redwood. Jesus H Christ Scotland what the fuck have you done!

 

[lizzieloo]

Is this flouting the predictions of yes areas having a lower turnout then? I'm guessing Craigmillar isn't a no area

I'm on STV, as it's somewhat less dull. Can someone let me know if the BBC picks up?

Craigmillar is where the people were marching to behind a flaming piper on the photos thread.

 

[lizzieloo]

Folk finding it tedious on the telly, you probably have the choice between BBC England coverage and BBC Scotland coverage

 

[ferrelhadley]

expected results times from the BBC

Eilean Siar had fog so unlikely until 5ish. Everything else you can put half an hour to a full hour later. Perhaps even two for the big ones like Glasgow.

Folk turned up for this en masse.

14,907 votes being counted in Orkney

Turnout my arse.

I'd sooner they put on re-runs of Father Ted and sounded a massive klaxon whenever an actual result comes in.
Has there been a single one yet?

Apologies weepiper .

I can see now** ( ) that what we were on about earlier up was #indyref quoting him, not indyref's own claim.

I'm away to bed now, **mostly for that reason , but I still predict a narrow No.

Let's see which of us gets the more surprised by 7 am.

I do appreciate -- here in Wales! -- that's all this is that vastly more important for Scotland-residents/voters/you than for various random/Urban outsiders, so if I've been an annoying arse I apologise.
