Scottish Independence

More good news

More news from polling stations from the Press Association.


The Yes Campaign is also expecting to lose in Aberdeenshire - with some very downbeat SNP members at the AECC. There is talk that anything more than 45% for Yes across Scotland would be a good result for them.

In East Lothian, the No camp is confident of a comfortable victory, looking like about a 60-40 split.

The turnout in Comhairle nan Eilean Siar was 86.2%.

No campaigners at the Aberdeen City count are predicting a 57% vote rejecting independence.

Nice to see all the news presenters have been given training on how to pronounce Comhairle nan Eilean Siar. Though it looks like they're still not enjoying it

[Sheilbh]

That's a surprise.

I haven't seen so many Scottish locality names since I was in the liquor store.

Is there a single district that has voted Aye yet?

I believe only 4 districts are fully counted at this point.

Asoka.

So everyone is reporting partial results?

Do Glaswegians have as much trouble understanding everyone else as we have understanding them?

Glaswegians are generally pretty comprehensible to other Brits.

I found Glaswegians difficult to understand.  While I was in Glasgow I met an older man who, upon discovering I was a "Yank" did his "American" accent for me.  I didn't understand a word of it.  So I suspect that we Americans are as difficult for them to understand as they are for us.

(Admittedly he had gotten through the better part of a bottle of Scotch or two before I had met him .)

I guess. Here's map of what's been reported:

This is one boring ass election.  Wallace: disappointed.

Well so far only 1.3% of the vote's been announced

Pfft, American media would've prematurely have called the rigged Diebold results by now.

Now only 6000 voted in it and it is a numbers game :ph33r:
