mainiac, who knows? it's important to remember that there are millions of people in scotland, and a big yes victory in Glasgow or Edinburgh could turn it instantly?

((inb4 50.1 yes 49.9 no.))

[hector13]

There's only a 150k margin now.

We can pull it back.

I fucking hope we can pull it back...

((inb4 50.1 yes 49.9 no.))

Yes, but there have been no big victories for Yes yet, even in councils where it was predicted to win it didn't win by a decisive margin. I don't see it happening.

[GavJ]

oh i thought somebody said aberdeen was yes already. That does change things.

[RedKing]

Margin is now 149K.

Damn all you ninjas!

I guess I mis-heard BBC.

Those cities combined are only a quarter of the electorate.  We've already seen more votes tallied then they will cast.  They'd need to be absurdly lopsided to swing it at this point.

Good ol' Tommy Sheridan.

Speaking his mind, and reading between the lines: "This is a shite night for Scotland"

[Playergamer]

yeah, it probably won't happen, but it can.

((Glasgow incoming, according to bbc here.))

[Squeegy]

Glasgow is declaring soon. This will probably decide the whole thing.

[mainiac]

Unless Yes is above 60% in Glasgow it's too little.

[Squeegy]

Under 10 minutes. Get ready, boys.

[Culise]

I'll probably be more surprised by a Yes vote than a No at this point.  It may be my own biases on the matter, but the cities listed were predicted to be rather moderate Yes, even before seeing some of the swings to No seen in other areas.  There's places where that's otherwise, such as West Lothian and East Ayrshire, but those don't have the population to really swing it hard at this point.  As noted, it'd take a pretty drastic Yes victory to turn the tide.
