    Dundee is a big win for the Yes. Biggest so far at 57%, and currently the only yes. Only 6000 votes in it for No...

    Saying Yes or No is boring. From now Yes is Bampot and No is Numpty.

    So Dundee is a big win for Bampot.

    West Dunbartonshire yes with 53.96%.
    Midlothian: No with 56.3%
    East Lothian: No with 61.7%
    Sterling: No 60%
    Falkirk: No 53.4%
    Angus: No 56.3%

    56,000 votes in for "no"

    Appears that we have a trend...I'm going to bed.

    Well, guess it's a No. I can't see any big upsets happening now.

    I have to say I'm very disappointed at this

    Apparently Scotland already have the power to vary their tax slightly but Holyrood have never used it?

    So considering they already have a different legal and educational system I can't see what else can be devolved to them?

    I think the biggest thing out of all of this is that over a million people voted to leave the UK. That's bound to have ramifications in the future.

    My sister in law is relieved as she's Scottish living in London for the past 20 years so no vote obviously, and doesn't want to feel alienated from her home country

    Does that mean we have to saw off Dundee and set it afloat across the North Sea?

    I'm not well versed in this at all, but I wonder why anyone wouldn't vote for independence.

    So if someone said you could vote for Indiana independence, from federal rule or whatever, would you?

    So you're saying this is not unlike a state trying to secede? I'm being serious, I just want to understand what's happening.

    You'll have to get rid of Glasgow as well. Could you live without Irn Bru?

    Salmond is stepping down, but that's not entirely unexpected.

    Don't be ridiculous.

    (Actually... I have a supplier in NYC. If they get gentrified I'll kill myself.)
