I'm very much considering getting up early to watch it unfold.

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.

So really then, if the vote is no - but the vote is real close as I thought it might be - do you think then it will give Scotland a more powerful voice in Parliament then? Would that be enough to appease the separatists?

It is 01:09 there and I am hearing the returns come in, but I'll not let anything go yet... I should have been writing down the returns as they are coming in, but you'll see as much tomorrow.

They've stopped it. Oh, I've checked your link and I think I can watch it from there. Thanks!

Unbelieveable turnouts, averages somewhere around 86%! That is unreal!
