I'd imagine an overall result first with some dissemination afterwards, I can't wait to see the breakdown of various locations, rich/poor etc and how they voted.
It will be interesting to see the actual break down - but I think we have a fairly reasonable idea how it's going to pan out.plasticpig said:
If there is a good chance of a very close yes/no result say 49% Yes and 51% No then I think Police Scotland better give Boris / Met Plod a bell and see if they can borrow their water cannon as there is a good chance they might need them. I would hope Scot Plod already have plans in place for such an eventuality.
Don't be so cynical, chill out man - the nationalists will respect the 'settled will' of the majority of Scottish people..............

About 30 minutes before the banks announce they are leaving
This is one of the things I am wondering too - I thought maybe they'd leave it until Friday afternoon/evening to try and minimize any possible capital flight after the result is announced. In the event of a yes vote, I do wonder how much money will leave the country, no wonder the banks are worried.Moonhawk said:

At what time on the 19th will the result be announced, has that been confirmed yet?
They can't say with certainty as it depends on how quickly each area can count and verify their results. If there have to be recounts - it could take a while.Are they even counting by constituency or simply announcing an overall result for Scotland?
If it works like a general election - the BBC may do what they normally do and compile a running total - we may know the result before all areas have declared though.

It appears to me that the young and impressionable will decide this. In truth, it is the Yes campaign that has misled Scotland by telling people that anything good that we have now as part of the UK will not change but everything bad will disappear. This just insults the older voters intelligence, especially ones who have thought things through and as we all know, teenagers and the young NEVER think things through.
That sounds great, we should lower the voting age. simoid said:
IIRC the "young and impressionable" are most likely to vote no. The yes vote is most popular amongst men in their 30s and 40s (again IIRC).
You are right. There was a poll with age sex location profession a while back and men in their 30s in Glasgow were the most likely to vote yes. Teenagers and older women most likely to vote no. Amongst older folk, the more people earn, the more they are likely to vote no.McWigglebum4th said:
Some filthy disgusting english loving tory traitor SCUM set fire to the YES headquarters in glasgow and killed 129 people
if you believe twitter
It was a wheely bin on fire outside an abandoned shop which had been covered in YES posters
total casualties = One wheely bin, zero people, zero stickers, zero buildings, zero windows
Its Operation House - the modern day Operation Himmler.if you believe twitter
Picture no worky and me not know why

Google Reichstag fire too, the Nationalists really got going after that.
Isn't it about time that all you no supporters who are worried about this start doing something about it?
I mean you keep saying it's a vocal minority...but that minority is getting quite big now (according to polls).
At the end of the day I can't do anything about it, but you who will be directly affected need to start getting louder.

I'd put a No Thanks sticker in my car window but I'd rather not have either of them keyed by the democracy loving yes loonies.I mean you keep saying it's a vocal minority...but that minority is getting quite big now (according to polls).

Besides, I'm not the sort to stand in a street shouting angrily at the top of my voice. My vote counts, debasing myself doesn't.
When it comes down to it, if they win, I'll hopefully go somewhere else because I, (and evidently many like me), have the minerals to find somewhere that suits me/us and respect that place rather than expect what I want to be served on a plate.
Yes it's 'Schadenfreud' <sp?> but if Scotland splits and it all goes to hell in a handbasket, I'll be sorry yes but, I won't shed a tear for those rabbled to get what they wanted and then didn't get it.

It is like trying to explain algebra to a dog
They are just too stupid to understand
I see this as a measure of how dumb scotland actually is
And it looks like the answer is VERY
I am not welcome in my own country
Think most people who would vote No will have already thought about what their plan is.
Personally I've already held off buying a house, and decided that in the event of a Yes vote, I simply won't be doing so. If I need to find somewhere (as I moved back here to live with my parents with the intention of getting a house of my own) I will rent, making sure all my savings are somewhere safe.
Then, if need be and it looks like leaving is the best choice there won't be much to prevent it besides finding a job. Already decided I'd quite like to live in Bristol as I stayed there for a good portion of last year and in every way it's better than Glasgow. Unfortunately I probably can't afford to be exactly where I'd like, but there will be a decent compromise to be had.
