Fire alarm at the count in Dundee

 

[muscovyduck]

78%

Just went to edit it before I saw your post. Misread the figures.

 

[weltweit]

I want to go to bed, I am tired, my eyes are droopy but I want to see a result at least one!

Fire alarm at the count in Dundee

 

[belboid]

Low turnout in Dundee - one of Yes's strongest regions

 

[pogofish]

Clackmannan - No.

 

[Dillinger4]

No wins Clackmananshire 54%

 

[belboid]

Yes - 16350
No - 19036
24 rejected

 

[The Boy]

game over

 

[lizzieloo]

Clackmannan - No.

Does that tell you anything? I'm down here so have no idea

 

[belboid]

54% v 46% - a 12% margin according to Huw

 

[weepiper]

It's not great tbh, we might have expected to take Clacks.

 

[belboid]

it was an edge and edge one, apparently, and mirrors the polls exaclty

I'm not gonna "like" it but thanks

 

[Ole]

Oof.

 

[muscovyduck]

Prediction (because I couldn't find the other thread): if yes wins it'll be through the results that come through later in the bigger areas

 

[weltweit]

8% margin not 12

 

[Wilf]

Bit early to be drawing dire and depressing conclusions, but the way it's going we'll be seeing twatty Tory MPs talking about a 'decisive victory' tomorrow.

 

[weepiper]

Interesting graphic here which suggests it's not an unexpected result though

 

[lizzieloo]

Where from?
Oh sorry, missed your link

 

[Ole]

Right, I'll be ignoring the BBC then.

 

[belboid]

Interesting graphic here which suggests it's not an unexpected result though

it only shows a 3% majority, as opposed to the actual 8. Pretty decisive in effect

 

[The Pale King]

Spot on Muscovy - this is a few thousand folk, who knows what local factors are at play.

I am keeping the faith...

 

[JTG]

Right, I'll be ignoring the BBC then.

An increasingly good plan these days

 

[lizzieloo]

They're using the 2014 European election results as an indication of how people would vote in the referendum, it'll have no significance, I bet the turnout was tiny for that

 

[Dooby]

Come on now people, stay with us.
oh they talk such shite on this programme, I want to take over and teLL you WHY wee Billy fae Greggs voted as he did

 

[Tankus]

Heh ..thought peeps had gone to bed ...I was on the wrong thread ,....BBC coverage rather jaded ,nodding me off too

I am sat here feeling livid that as a scot exiled to work for a UK organisation which does not employ my skills in Scotland I get no say in my nation. 600000 of us down here are in same boat many due the shite policies that have destroyed industry back home. I got secondary school just as thatcher came to power and destroyed industry after industry then new labour all making the rich richer than ever before. It's folks from "best" schools that in charge on my company. Took me till about 40 to realise I never stood a chance. If there a no vote this is not the end. Looks like a couple of million will have voted to end this country. That's a start. When a lot of Nos see the result of more failed promises from westminster we might get another shot.

 

[Ole]

West Lothian to be NO apparently.

This is one of the councils most likely to be indicative of the overall result according to this.
