According to the kid-on nationalists, if there is a yes vote Scots can still keep their British passport and can also choose to compete for Great Britain in sport...............plus they want to keep the pound...............total and utter cretin Alex Salmond.......................

Well there wouldn't be in Larkhall, would there DT. Plenty of intimidation and that's why there are very few NO posters in house windows. |

EDINBURGH, Sept 17 (Reuters) - Scottish support for independence has risen to 49 percent, an Ipsos MORI poll showed on the eve of a referendum that could break the United Kingdom apart.
The Ipsos MORI poll showed support for Scotland staying in the United Kingdom on 51 percent, the STV news broadcaster said. Support for independence had risen 7 percentage points since a similar poll on Aug. 5 while support for the union had fallen by the same amount, it said. Is this the last poll? i guess nothing will be published from now on  |

.....Paddy Power had Glasgow EVENS for YES vote......it's now 8/15.
....and so it begins  |

Nobody from the No Campaign has intimidated the SNP Leader, that is sh!te. The only person who has even issued Alex Salmond with a death threat is his Doctor

Think the last poll was the yougov one which had it 52-48% in favour of yes. But if the claims are right on here that those polls don't include a sizeable number of first time voters who have never been polled and these voters will go with yes in big numbers then that probably puts yes infront in real terms.
Still not enough of a lead in my opinion to hold on against some yes voters losing their bottle and many undecided voters not being as undecided as they claim. |

PP offering 13/2 on the Scots using the Euro by 1st January 2020.

Is it giro day in Scotland today?
 If it is, they will all lump on 'Yes' at 7/2 and vote accordingly. For those who think anything is a foregone conclusion, look back to 2010 at the betting on who would hold the 2012 Olympics. Paris was 1.03 in the morning, and the 33s on London was swallowed up in a rush, when those in the know knew the result before it was announced. |

Based on some "nerdy" projections I had it 49.91% YES, and 50.08% NO. That close, from a numbers /rational perspective. But my "instinct" is that it will be a "YES". This assumed a 50-50 split in Glasgow. As I said PP slashed the Glasgow YES vote to 8/15. I think Glasgow may now break 53-47% YES, and if so then nationally I'd have it 50.38% YES, 49.62% NO......similar moves nationally will see "YES" comfortably home.

Glasgow obviously the biggest but what percentage of the electorate does it make up?

presumably there'll exits polls straight after 10pm so some people at least will have an idea which way it's looking at the moment

I've read in several places that there are no official exit polls. Don't know why not, or how true that is.

Anyone who’s sat up watching the TV on election night knows there’s a pattern to how things go: before the polls close, early in the evening, broadcasters assiduously say as little as possible to avoid breaking election broadcasting rules.
Then comes 10pm, and the polls close. Moments later, the anchor behind the desk (almost always a Dimbleby of some description) gives the results of the exit poll – often the only bit of red meat to talk about for the next several hours. Except, as the polls close in the Scottish referendum, this won’t happen – as neither the BBC nor any other media outlet has bothered to pay to get one done. |

I hope that all these first-time young voters are made aware that you place your 'X' against the choice that you WANT. These are not tick-box questions!

How can you say the no voters are not "shy" Alias. If you believe the polls there are more people in favour of the union but many of the no voters have been left cowering and afraid to express their true opinions Stop reading the Daily Mail, there is no intimidation. See text below, email from NO. Might be they are trying for a free mob. No Thanks. 5 hours to go There are just 5 left hours to vote in the referendum. Reports are that people from across the country are proudly voting No today. But we need everyone who supports a stronger Scotland, with the opportunity and security of being in the UK. To get out and vote for it. I voted No earlier to secure a better future for my kids with more funding for our NHS, more job opportunities and a Scotland where they can feel proudly part of something bigger. If you are reading this at work and haven’t voted yet, please go and vote on your way home. If you can then please join our team at your polling station and do your bit to represent the No campaign. If you have already voted, thank you and please consider joining our team at your polling station. Thanks Blair |

Concede defeat, would need a big swing either way, cant see either really throwing the towel in until the result is announced, which must be after 5am

The intimidation tactics from certain rogue elements of the YES campaign has been shameful; its leaders' failure to unreservedly condemn such tactics even more so.

keep it vaguely betting related otherwise it will turn to sh!te like the other threads

And what about the yes voters being traitors to the Union. Stupid terminology you've used. |

continue to be baffled by these odds where the polls have said it's a close call, there is nothing to really go on and yet the no vote if you believe the odds has never had a chance
bizarre that polls could be this far out for so long, i suspect the no vote has it but i cannot believe they are that far in front |

fck me, 3rd headline on sky news, outed by an isis hostage and a murder hunt, not as though it's a minor change should they vote yes
