Indyref 15: the count

[SantanaLopez]

Evening all!

The woman in red was Margaret Curran.

I was going to take today off but I've too much work on and the managing partner pretty much issued a 3 line whip to all partners to be around tomorrow.

I must go to bed now. The only saving grace is my office is 5 minutes from home and due to flexi-time I don't have to be in until 10.

Yes Chelsy. And Balerno. Who knows which way Balerno will go. Rich, but with a nationalist bent. Farmers too.

Sky explaining Orkney vote as a demographic thing - less younger people, more older traditionals, tend to eschew anything mainstream Scottish politics

Which is largely bollocks although they are resolutely loyal to Liberals / Lib Dems

The demographics are correct - the population is skewed towards the higher end. And perhaps more sympathetic to a Norse history?

Which way will Perth go out of interest? I heard too that Edinburgh was a no from a lady on the plane.

How she knew I don't know so I guess it was an instinct!

Thanks squoosh

Flippin I don't know, but he deserves a bloody medal!

Is Balerno in the Midlothian region? It's under Edinburgh council I think.

Edinburgh has the highest proportion of voters who are not born in Scotland. It's also the wealthiest constituency in Scotland. Therefore most likely no.

livingzuid - given that my main reason for voting yes is political representation, I feel exactly the same way about the referendum.

I can't moan that people's vote didn't count, lol.

Oops I should have said, the tagline to that is 'Serious Problems for the Proclaimers should Scotland go independent'

I actually thought you were making a serious point about how tiny Scotland is when you look at it that way.

Sorry. Shouldn't have assumed you all have ESP. We are in London

I'd be surprised if Balerno wasn't pretty solidly no.

Balerno is Edinburgh.

Thanks Squoosh :)

Night Phaedra. Poor you having to go to work tomorrow! I hope you have a relaxing weekend planned!

Balerno is in Edinburgh. Midlothian used to cover a much wider, into West Lothian, than it does now.

I live and work in Edinburgh and the assumption amongst friends, colleagues and neighbours is you are a No.

Michael Gove has apparently said he thinks the No side have won. Pretty gutsy this early on.

Evening Lovley. I thought it was, just wasn't sure if some random boundary redraw had happened!

Statistically I'm not 100% sure. I think Balerno counts as Midlothian. But...it may be Edinburgh. I'm in Currie.

Dundee is heading for a comfortable YES majority according to the Graun.

Everyone's being very polite and subdued on twitter.

I was expecting a barrage to be honest but it's not like that at all.

Worst I've seen is 'Orkney Ya Wanks!'

Good news so far.......

I just realised that even Spiegel, the German news magazine has a lifeticker for the referendum. I wonder how many are up in Germany watching.
