Oh - thankfully I must have slept through that. Not surprised, though.

Neil saying that the result is bad for Labour.

Salmon statement at 06.20.

Or perhaps Salmond

With all the excitement I haven't counted my own vote ......


No -did it make any difference?

Only one vote cast? That's a bad result for Ed Miliband.

Wow, Edinburgh 61% No.

Big wins for No in Aberdeenshire and Edinburgh.

Yes it did make a substantial difference. As a result of the HindleA Declaration, I think I am just about ready to concede that the Noes have it. But I am not yet ready to state, Order Order just in case anyone starts asking for cooked breakfasts. There is a large pot of Lady Colin Campbells Porridge just there on the stove. Help yourselves. Drat just missed three results... will retrieve them...

I tried to post them,but it was far too quick for me.

Oh, of course. Thanks. Well that, for me, means the vote's all in!


Result just in for Alex Salmond's own back yard (Aberdeenshire). Quite a definite "No". Which only goes to bear out how the Scottish voting patterns are bad news for Ed Miliband. All rather clunky, isn't it?

This increase in voter registration will presumably have a bearing on the GE. It's been a superb turnout percentage with a lower voting age.

"Pressure on Labour" meme repeated.

Morning all. I see the BBC are really trying to hammer home the "bad for Ed Miliband" spin.

City of Edinburgh
Yes: 123,927
No: 194,638

Fife: 254162
Yes 114148
No 139788

Scotland has voted No.

Fife officially ends it,quite appropriate.Cameron has thanked Darling will he extend that gratitude to anybody else,I wonder.

Cameron pointing at fish at about 07.00

I'm looking forward to seeing the official declaration due to take place in Edinburgh.

Well it's official then. Right now it's 55% for No and 45% for Yes so that's going to be hard for anyone to spin as a win for EU and English immigrants (as was being inferred on Twitter by some).

The argument over the make-up of a Federal UK is now going to dominate the GE.

And I guess this also means that Labour's Party Conference will go ahead now.

Aberdeenshire barely voted for devolution,the "experts" seem.to have a difficulty in differentiating between voting for a party and on an issue.

Argyll and Bute
Yes: 26,324
No: 37,143

Aberdeenshire
Yes: 71,337
No: 108,606

UK keeps 40 Scottish MPs. That's got to be terrible news for Ed Miliband.

Watch now as the Tories try and engine a way to ensure that those 40 MPs don't get to vote.

I meant 40 Scottish Labour MPs but am a bit below par

Soon to be replaced by Sturgeon,what is it with politicians and fish?

Moray
Yes: 27,232
No: 36,935

Only Highland to wait on, now...

As usual, Cameron took his eye off the ball, then went into crisis mode they winged it. He needs to stop doing that. But the biggest loser is not Salmond but Milliband.. to be less popular in Scotland than a Tory Eton toff overseeing austerity takes some doing.

comment below line in G.

After watching beeb coverage with younger son (unexpectedly, he seems very anxious about what happens now) am taking refuge from Jeremy Vine and his ghastly graphs. He pissed me off quite early by referring to part of his statistical bombast as being sorted by 'social grade' of whom the lowest are benefit claimants. Very sad for all those good yessers who will be feeling very down now, but not at all for the bully boys and girls. Very conflicted about all this talk about a federal England, I'd prefer something on how they are going to tackle local corruption first. Sort of surprised to see the whole thing presented as some kind of party political issue, bizarre. Loved reading everyone's commentary to now, beats the beeb and their minions.

Sort of relieved that we stay British, and united (hmm). Can we trust the politicians to totally misread any changes Scotland and by default the rest of us want, and do the wrong thing over and over.

If David Cameron starts crowing about this I do hope someone gives him a fat lip. Am already peeved that he has not thanked the entire Westminster contingent (and Gordon) for rescuing his bacon. Or at least for braving the mob.

I kept thinking if those were kipper figures we'd be scared shitless by them. Trying to imagine a federal Yorkshire. Aargh, I want to time travel back five years and set us on a different road. I'm dead set on missing Dave's predicted appearance, so think it must be time to sleep.

Well done UK for hanging in there even though you're held together by sticky stuff and baseless promises, we all know you are worth more than that.

Felt rather sorry for la Sturgeon, she's worth a hundred Salmon(d)s any day, and had the decency to put in an appearance.

Had to agree with son when he said this isn't the way to get change, no one will get what is needed. Let's hope they hang fire till we get a chance to place our own ballots.

My usual verbose type of post, but what the heck, it's tomorrow already and I can't find my off switch.

Peace to all.

Goodnight @seeingclearly and son. Sleep well.

Goodnight all.

Goodnight seeingclearly


Close call between Porfavor and yahyah for closest prediction.

Shall I listen to Cameron,or not that is the question.

Edited to add

That went well! Please see below . . .

(I thought Nicola Sturgeon did well, too. She looked absolutely wrung out.)

@seeingclearly

Goodnight.

Agree about Sturgeon, she came across very well when being interviewed by the BBC. Salmond and his "for now..." quip reminds me how much I dislike him (successful politician that he is not withstanding)

HindleA wrote:Shall I listen to Cameron,or not that is the question.

Do you think he'll pompously announce that he's spoken to "Her Majesty"? He loves all that sort of twaddle. Or is she having a lie-in?

We shall see Porfavor,I'll sign off before finding out.Thanks to Lady C for results service and all that accompanied.throughout the night and early morning.Til we "meet ".again,goodbye.

Incredible amount of bitterness in evidence on Twitter right now. Everyone who voted No is a Tory, everyone who voted No is in favour of food banks, destroying the NHS etc and Labour are Tories and nobody is going to vote for them to teach them a lesson.

'Bye for now. Take care.

Ok I'm starting a new thread for Friday now.

Goodnight, HindleA. It has been a pleasure. Thanks for your company, and sleep well.
