We should listen to Mencius Moldbug and restore the Stuarts. (Although I don't think Scotland would be very fond of Mr. Moldbug's proposals...)

Le Soir, our main newspaper, says the first exit polls are 54% no, 46% yes. Don't give a source though.

That was the YouGov poll. Questionable how reliable that is though.

The preliminary results are in, and things are looking good for Yes according to CNN.

...wait a tick.

[penguinofhonor]

Wow, I didn't think the turnout would be that good.

Wow, I didn't think the turnout would be that good.

When Scots do something, they give it 110%. Even voting.

[Propman]

Oh dear, I've been up all night anticipating the outcome of this, and can hardly type clearly.

I'm ashamed of how long it took me to see that...

[Wolfhunter107]

110% turnout!
Also, good luck from the US of A!

[Andrew425]

So the first results shoud be coming in soon

[Gentlefish]

Hey Scotland, good luck. I'd love to see my favorite ancestor country independent once again.

Clackmannanshire went no. 19036-16350

[ed boy]

I'll be up for at least a few hours to see the results come in. That's a bigger margin in Clackmannanshire than I expected. It was also an area that was one of the more likely to vote yes, which implies the no campaign will have a good turnout elsewhere.

[Gentlefish]

It's also a pretty small percent of population, isn't it? So such a small group shouldn't weigh your opinion on the whole matter.

Well, it's a small percent of the population that was supposed to go decisively Yes, not decisively No as it did.  It's not necessarily indicative of a majority of voters in Scotland, but it does jive with what I've heard about the probable shift in votes relative to the preliminary surveys; to wit, that given the general conduct of a certain particular subset of Yes campaigners, those who would vote No would be less likely to state as such openly, thus skewing polls in favour of Yes.
