Oh I do believe you. But it's hard to get excited, at least in a positive way, about something you have no influence over. And I'm antipathetic, if not downright cynical, about politics and politicians.

We still do. Did you forget that I live there?

If Scotland votes yes can you and I become roomies and move there?

No, the Tories are an inherently unionist party.

Is there a good news outlet over there where I can check in on this from time to time? I'd like to monitor the election from time to time today. This is way more interesting to me than we are able to get reporting on over here.

I think Teh predicted correctly the outcome but I think in the end it will be a very close result, probably within just a few percentage points.

I imagine - http://www.bbc.com/news/scotland/ - will have all you need.

Results are getting announced from about 4AM UK time onwards I think.

There's currently absolutely fuck all happening (in terms of news) because they're not doing exit polls and campaigning has ended. I've been listening to BBC Radio Scotland for the past fortnight to keep up with stuff but today they're just talking about beards and golf :(

But yeah, what Ant says.

Edit: Polls are open from 7am-10pm (BST), then counting starts and there'll be a results show until they get a result or the breakfast news takes over.

I've been trying to adjust my sleep pattern so I can watch it right through but I got up far too early today.

I don't think Salmond has an actual, thought out plan post-"yes"
I think his whole plan was a very slim majority "no" vote then on to DevoMax

You can livestream BBC Radio online (at least here in Canada, so I would imagine in the US too). BBC Radio 5 will have live coverage starting at 10:00 p.m. UK time (so 5 pm Eastern in North America).

Also, if you have BBC World News as part of your cable TV package, they're covering it live starting at 10:00 p.m. UK time.

Other than the 650 page white paper? Did you read it? (I didn't, there's better things to do with my time!)

A source that I cannot reveal says that the exit poll is currently at 53% no, so it makes no difference anyway.

A poll of people who have voted, call it what you like.

And like I said, I can't reveal my source but it is reliable.

Exit polls aren't reliable though, are they? (This is not a reflection on the reliability of your source, simply the information that they have access to)

the financial sector seems to be thinking the result is "no"


but, either way about 50% are going to be disappointed, I wonder if splitting the Scots like this was a good idea

It's not like we were an happy and harmonious nation united as one in our love for Westminster rule until that nasty Mr Salmond sprung a referendum on us. The division has been there for a while, it's not just there in Scotland, and it's not going to go away by ignoring it. What I found gratifying about the Yes campaign was that it wasn't a single monolithic entity. All kinds of people have been campaigning and coming up with interesting ideas and hopes and dreams, and no later how unrealistic some of those have been, the end result has been to severely put the shiters up Westminster and force them to acknowledge that people aren't happy, and that that still might matter, despite the wholesale selling out to corporate interests.

Sounds riveting, really. I was going through some of the manifold ramifications today and I am left with the impression that although a romantic and emotional thing, there aren't enough contingencies in place to make it a success, ultimately.

I'd change me Teh vote in a minute if I could.
