Poll: The GD Referendum – Scottish Independence

[Nitefly]

When's first results 2am? and last 6am?

Not worth staying up for in any case!

 

[Craterloads]

Any exit polls?

 

[Amp34]

I wonder if any of the counters would fiddle a little?

That's why they have representatives from both camps standing behind them.

Any exit polls?

Latest YouGov - No 54%, Yes 46%

Anyone watching the BBC coverage?

Hew Edwards was sweating when stating there are no exit poles...! Pressure is on the BBC news rooms I think!

Sounds like the turnout is massively high which is a positive, whichever way it goes.

I am off to my bed now. I am hoping I don't wake up tomorrow to find the country I love has been butchered, as I am honestly not sure how I'd handle it. Hopefully my fellow Scots will follow reason and sense and save the Union.

Im watching the BBC and I've got the live results open on pc. (i waste so much power ).

I hope its a huge turnout could be a good sign of a returning interest in politics.

Pretty confident of a 'No' vote so will gamble on posting this early...

I think turnout will be around 85%, however I imagine that at the next GE turnout will be down closer to 55%.

Should arguably be Alistair Darling in that image.. Cameron has had literally no positive impact on the NO campaign.

 

[xs2man]

Brilliant picture. Stolen for posting on my FB page later...

Sure, Cameron has had little impact, but he's still the PM.

 

[Pestilence]

LOL, estebanrey.

 

[antijoke]

Be interesting to know how many people filled out the yougov poll.

Percentages are useless without numbers behind them.

 

[Mynight]

Please say you made that pic haha.

The faces fit scarily well .

 

[Fuzz]

Not on my tatties

Oh god, Diane Abbott.

From the BBC feed:

YouGov president Peter Kellner, who's at the Ingliston national count, tells me his organisation's latest polling data indicates a "small but consistent" shift from "Yes" to "No" and a "slightly higher determination to vote" among "No" people.
He reckons "No" voters are more frightened of independence than "Yes" voters are of the status quo.
Mr Kellner says his instinct is that, if the latest YouGov survey is wrong, the gap may actually be wider in favour of "No".
Some people here at the count are talking about the experience of the 1995 Quebec referendum, which saw an "emotional swing" to "Yes" when the campaign was going full tilt, but swung back when it was time to fill in the ballot paper, resulting in a (very slim) "No" outcome.

Kellner is convinced of a No Vote it seems.

 

[Raumarik]

Most people I know think it'll be NO too, some saying it'll be much higher than many expect.

It really comes down to the people who are usually disenfranchised from politics though, how they vote as they've never been part of the equation before.
