Indyref 15: the count

[SantanaLopez]

Evening all!

Clackmannanshire is up next to Stirling.

Oh cambio how so? I base this solely on the BBC reports I saw earlier in the week. I do a lot of work in Dundee and Aberdeen and both just seemed so Yes to me. But that might have just been all the branding that was around.

Johann Lamont always looks like she wants to punch someone.

I thought they were expecting Aberdeen no, Aberdeenshire yes (before tonight I mean)

I think we can vote a definitive YES to Scotland saying Pat Kane should keep his fat gob shut.

Aberdeen has a lot of oil workers and a lot of high earners, they tend to veer to No.

I'm swayed by the oil money in Aberdeen which I think probably would be no. Purely my opinion and I have no idea what wider Aberdeen would say.

No every person gets one vote but to physically count them they are using the same counting stations as they would in a general election. Once they are counted they get put in to the pot for each side. So yes you will eventually get 2 final totals for each.

I am also wondering how much more they can talk about this first result

It's been worth being up at nearly 3am on this side of the alps, just to see the palpable relief in you lot.

Pat Kane should be forced to only use word of two syllables or less. It would kill him.

I'm not going to get any sleep tonight. I may as well just accept it now.

Is it possible some predictions are wrong and some poorer voters are voting no because they have more to lose from financial uncertainty if it's a yes?

Average turnout from those who have announced it is just under 85%. High, but not as high as Yes had hoped for

Ah thanks all I wondered about that oil thing and it makes sense.

Stirling at 90.1 and East Renfrewshire at 90.5. That's incredible.

Igne a little 'bit' above Edi. If you can watch BBC1 they're showing each region on a map as they go. Shows you how small Clack is though! But a NO in a strong Yes area is good!

The information about the demographics of Clacks is very interesting.

Stirling 90% turnout!

Stirling + East Renfrewshire both with turnouts >90% !

Is there a parallel thread running with all the regular yes voters on?

From BBC News feed.

Douglas Fraser - Business and economy editor, Scotland
"So it's a special congratulations to the 7 people in Clackmannanshire who voted both 'yes' and 'no"

Tension,

Correct, but besides the point, which No winning in Clackmannan indicates they're doing better than the opinion polls predicted.

Similarly, 54% would represent par for Yes in Glasgow, and would suggest No has won.

Bit surprised at Clackmannanshire. It is in Central Scotland, between Stirling and West Fife. Some poorer areas mixed with some of the best farmland in Scotland and a lot of SMEs. Its got quite an active local authority, in terms of organising local participation and sport and so on.

Bit surprised at low vote in Dundee too.

I thought they were expecting Aberdeen no, Aberdeenshire yes (before tonight I mean)

That's what I thought too SC

Mummazza :)

Hi hearts :)

Thanks for the geographical help.
I'm in bed on my phone latte don't have TV on.
