Indyref 15: the count

[SantanaLopez]

Evening all!

Current summary

Turnout 83.5% (as far as known)
40.83% yes

Assuming average turnout, Yes need an average of 53% of remaining votes to win.

The results are coming in slower than expected. Wonder if I can take a quick nap.....

It's still too close isn't it SC? Especially with Dundee, Aberdeenshire, Glasgow and West Lothian (was it) pegged as Yes. I don't know if I can bear it but equally I know I won't sleep.

From the Guardian live blog:

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.

West Lothian unofficially no :(

Ignore last figure, spreadsheet failure!

With Glasgow so low in turnout it is looking unlikely now, although Orkney and Shetland were never going to vote yes. Not so sure about clack. Dundee also low in turnout ( I say low 79% )

Likely no win by 53 per cent in W Lothian but not confirmed yet.

You are soooo StatisticallyChallenged

Some talk that no are expecting 60/40 in their favour. Which is more tha expected.

It's impressive that we're talking about a 75% turnout being low

Stroke, I agree with that. Woe betide any politician that takes a no result for granted & sits on their laurels. I hope they've all had a rude awakening and actually listen to what people, on both sides, have been saying they are unhappy about, and show willing to actually do something about it.

Amazed such low turnout in Glasgow. Why would that be?

FFS Who let Ricky Ross and his peculiarly-dyed hair on?

In other celeb news, Manda Rin of Bis is a no.

The turnout has been amazing.

Damnit! Left for a minute and Shetland gets their results in.

It is, but if people aren't going to turn up to vote in this referendum they will never bother with a common or garden general election. Great turn out elsewhere though.

Roonerspism - that's really high for Glasgow, it always has a lower turnout.

I really hope that's correct, flippinada. Might make it easier to take for Yes voters.

I know Rita. As soon as I typed it I thought how bonkers it sounded. But significantly lower...

AngrySalmond twitter account is the best

Bis!

Haven't heard them in years. I think she makes badges now.

I love Angry Salmond.

Oh yes. This referendum has shaken the establishment to their core. If there is no change then Scotland can quite rightly vote again to leave and I suspect it would go through a second time.

Also it's led the way for the whole country. I'm really excited to see what changes we can bring about in my home area which really suffers from under representation problems too and loses out to other parts of the country.

Can I please ask Where Eilean Siar is west coast?
