Will you vote for independence?

[two sheds]

No one does - not even the Chief Counting Officer Designate for the Scottish Independence Referendum. Just too many variables to even guess.

He phones to check with danny a week after the poll, though.

The final result could go down to a recount in some outlying district and swing on a few votes.

A dead heat would be comical.

They're not allowing recounts for closeness - only on suspicion of process not being followed.

too close to call imo, its all going to be down to those pesky DK's. Even as early as three months back my heart said indy but evidence suggested otherwise. This narrowing of the poll though...also, 10 days can be a long time in etc

Insert photoshopped picture of a defeated Alex Salmond (or maybe David Cameron, we still can't predict it) saying

"I would have got away with it too, if it hadn't been for those pesky don't knows..."

She.

But, yes, she has me on speed dial.

If it's yes, the voter registration surge that posters on here have mentioned might have been important.

Saw a Yes sticker on a lampost in Bloomsbury this morning

 

[pogofish]

I was working with one of the top lawyers in Scotland this afternoon - She was wearing a very prominent Yes badge.

What she was discussing was also an eye-opener but for another thread.

A new poll from TNS-BMRB 50% Yes - 50% No (23% undecided).

My favourite image of the campaign so far.

 

[butchersapron]

The one with 23% DK has NO on 39% and YES on 38%.

TNS do their polls by phone?

Door to door, I think.

If Yes lose I'm calling shenanigans on the postal votes.

Why? I know several people who have already voted No via postal vote. I also know several who have already voted yes.

Coverage in France seems to be non-existent, though that could be down to my limited comprehension and the rapid speaking they use on the radio.

when its this close even that feeble straw of implied shenanigans will make me feel better. Of course I don't really believe that anyone would make a huge concerted effort to rig the vote, with this set up the system is rigged enough that they don't need to really. (caveat, I'm talking about parliamentary and constituency voting being a rigged system. Be a bit hard to rig the system for a one off question ).

Why don't you do a search and look at all the stuff they've posted and come back to me?

because you made the allegations
please back it up or retract

Right so we're agreed, if we get independence, the nukes go back to westminster. Can we discuss the delivery method?

Much as I agree with the sentiment this would have some deleterious effects on Urban.

Fucking flags? Is that what he thinks this is about? He thinks we just need English towns to show they love us? We're voting Yes because we don't feel loved by the English?

I mean, seriously. What the fuck?

 

[DotCommunist]

I almost feel embarrased on his behalf

 

[Belushi]

I'm sure most English folk have a Saltire flag somewhere around the house.

 

[ddraig]

init
please don't go, we want to keep you on our flag!
here, we'll fly yours for a couple of days to convince you

 

[DotCommunist]

[two sheds]

Biscuits! We'll give you tea and biscuits if you stay!

 

[ddraig]

if they vote yes, they will never be allowed chocolate covered hob nobs again
