SCOTLAND DECIDES: First council to declare in referendum shows 54% voting "No" and 46% voting "Yes" /BBC

[Ulic]

I am sure saner heads will prevail and a no better together vote will prevail. The Scott's have a fair deal and

it would be a mistake to step into the abyss. Can they be an independent country, of course. Look at former Yugoslavia.

and all the failed states of Africa. Would they be better of? Highly, highly unlikely. Both sides would loose in a yes vote.

[Mosha]

Inverclyde no by 0.2%

[Keesters]

With all the no votes coming in seems like the Scots have decided to take the low road and stick with the devils they know rather than the ones they don't.

[dabhand]

Glasgow declared as Yes at 53%

Watching Sky TV and Kate Burley doing her usual 'in your face' interview technique. What a diva!!

[Chicog]

People seem to have forgotten the 789,000 postal votes.

[pitrevie]

Aberdeen is No..

Well if true that means Alex Salmond could not even convince his own constituency.

[Mosha]

Glasgow declared as Yes at 53%

Watching Sky TV and Kate Burley doing her usual 'in your face' interview technique. What a diva!!

[Mosha]

W Lothian No 65% (I Think)

[Mosha]

[jpinx]

It's not important -- Westminster MP's have already started to talk about much more devolution for Scotland and even an English parliament !

[kurnell]

I think the yes voters dropped the ball using Mel Gibson as their spokesman. They should have used Fat Bastard, he has more credibility.

[Keesters]

Borders No 67%

W Lothian No 65% (I Think)

Wikipedia has West Lothian as No: 55%

N Ayrshire No 51%

I would have thought that all it needs is the speaker kicks out the Scots and the Welsh MPs when talking and voting on English matters

think you have said this umpteen times. what is interesting now is whats the point of the SNP? Their very existence was for independence, they had the vote,lost so what now, another campaign for another referendum in 10, 20,30 years?

S Ayrshire No 58%

[Keesters]

People seem to have forgotten the 789,000 postal votes.

I think the count of those is done at each area along with the personal voting so it's already been done.
