Yes seem to have the advantage.

A new, fascist Scotland awaits us..

At least you wouldn't have to make welfare payments to the queen and her family of chicken s anymore tbh

01.29: Clackmannanshire declares for NO
89% turnout of 35,110 - 54% no, 46% yes
No: 19,036
Yes: 16,350

A top yes target this will be a blow to the Alex Salmond and buoy Better together as it exactly reflects the YouGov overall prediction from earlier

Not getting my hopes up yet, a long way to go...

I thought Mel Gibson liberated Scotland in 1995.

[The Reckoning]

i really want them to secede so they can see how much a pain in the ass nationalism based decisions are, and texas secessionists won't have an argument

[Venti Quattro]

Salmond referred to the RBS as a bank which was one of the leaders of Scotland to its 'arc of prosperity'. Clearly he's lying through his teeth. The Bank of England bailed out RBS during the recession. By that virtue they shouldn't be allowed to secede at all. But I guess he forgot all about it

Pretty close.

[SnakeBoy]

Pretty close.

Damn! So far 49.1% of Scots are proving to be complete morons.

[baseline bum]

Pretty close.

What's your source here? CNN and the Telegraph both has NO winning in a landslide.

Logically, I turned to New Zealand for live updates.

No 55.02%

[scanry]

No it is.

[pgardn]

It's basically over.

55% No. 45% yes

Now to hold to the promises made to Scotland.
Finacially this is best for all involved.

[Wild Cobra]

Is the world ending, or did freeze over?

Wait, you two agree?

Salmond

Now Cameron has bought some time before the Brits totally overthrow him from 10 Downing. He and Westminster must deliver

I guess the English FUD campaign coupled with some promised future candy worked. It's too bad, the scotts deserve their independance, i'm sure in time when they will feel ready, they will get it.

All those 16 year-olds we registered in safe YES districts didn't vote.

I thank the Scottish people for using their heads. Now we're one step closer to removing the conservative government!

Soon as I read Glasgow's turnout was only 76% it looked pretty likely that No would win.

Called it. I gave it a 30% chance of succeeding towards the end when the polls started showing it tightening up.

Vote was rigged, did you guys really think the royal gots would let the last little piece if their empire just slip away so easily? We found out in 1860 you have to fight and win your independence.
