looking at that (the page, rather than the graph) in more detail.. it seems to predict a No win of 55-45, with a margin of error whereby Yes could still win by 50.4 - 49.6.
Glasgow turnout 75%. East Renfrewshire 90.4%
I meant what were you surprised about? Is 75% a high turnout for Glasgow?
id expect most expat scots living in england would vote No too, but that aside I agree that as the Devo Vow turns sour there might be a chance to keep the pressure on into the future...leading to what I don't know.
always going to be.
still looks likely not to have been good enough unfortunately, as the no voting areas have also upped their turnout by about the same amount.
yeah I'm worried tbh. And also surprised that 25% of Glaswegians apparently haven't voted.
why is that by the way, any idea? Id imagine people in the rural ends of the country having a particularly strong Scottish identity - thats more how it works in England. I know identity isnt everything but.... whats the thinking in places like Orkney?
Greater population mobility in a big city = less up to date register?
Orkney is less 'Scottish' and more Orcadian
it is really surprising, considering the YEs vote has always seemed the far more determined and buoyant, and likely to vote.
I dont think the Cornish would agree with you. Nor any of the islanders. Orkneys are just so bloody far from anywhere...
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
Wibbled, wobbled, and probably even wubbled. No webblers tho
Yeah I always felt that this might be a factor
indeed, disconnected frm anywhere. totally different, the state is so far removed, both literally and figuratively. Which is why such places are fascinating
