As soon as Aberdeenshire votes NO.

65% Yes
35% No
85% Turnout

Close.

Cameron congratulated Darling on a "well fought campaign".

Hope he's joking.

To be fair... she's setting out her stall to be the next leader.

Doing a fair job of it too.

I'm not a fan of her or the SNP but agree with the above. I hope she means it when she says she's is willing to work with anyone to reunite the country

The Independence fox is shot for a decade to a quarter century at least I'd say. Based on these results I'd say Scotland would have to be much richer, or significantly poorer than the rUK for a majority to vote for Independence. I can't see any way in which Westminster would allow that situation to arise.

[Axionknight]

Done and dusted.

Or is that bluff and blustered?

So when's the rerun?

Never hopefully

But I would say 2016 if they get the chance

I still have an eye on the door marked exit

Salmond said on the Marr show that in the event of a No it would be 'a generation' before another referendum.

BUT, he is referring to a 'political' generation, which is only about 15 years.

The Yes have won in all the "Benefit" places around Scotland, the rest of the country actually can think for themselves.

The official analysis as I see the current figures is more or less the above.

The rural and more affluent areas have voted a very emphatic No. The poorer urban areas have voted Yes but not enough of them turned out to work err to vote.

What is now clear, but suspect it won't get through to Cameron et al, is that over a million people have voted that they want nothing more to do with the current system such they are prepared to take a leap into the unknown. They should take heed of this.

But judging that in the last minute Cameron has just called Alistair Darling to congratulate him on a well fought campaign shows they have learnt nothing

Scotland has spoken for the entire United Kingdom. We want and will demand change.

Rise up peasants and revolt.

IMHO it's got to be punted beyond imaginable timespan. I don't want to ever go through this ste again.

fk that.

He shouldn't resign. No need for that and he'd let many people in Scotland down if he did.

Sturgeon can't be FM.

[bigkeeko]

22 out of 26 counts vote No.

The city voters have narrowed the gap.

I`m reading on facebook now and the staunch yessers are suicidal but likeI said earlier many yes voters will wake up tomorrow with an `oh well` attitude and carry on as normal.

[HonestIago]

So glad I can now get back to being a Scot supporting UKIP

Well said.

This is actually the worse result for Scotland. Scotland (No vote) needed to be >70% to show the world and future investors that Scotland was stable. Unfortunately this shows that there is a strong chance that this will occur again. Especially when the upset English start campaigning for a fairer deal. I have already written to my MP.

Well done Scotland.

The samaritans 'Suicide Hotline' was near the top of the /r/Scotland page on Reddit until the Mods deleted it.

A real shame, they could have prevented some deaths there.

hahaha I saw that too.

most people saw the funny side

[Janluke]

While its not over yet it is looking very likely that the No vote have. On the one hand I'm delighted as I feel its the best thing for Scotland and I love being part of the Union. However I don't feel like celebrating when this whole thing has split the country. I have many friends who voted yes and none of them are numpties they voted for what they felt was the best for Scotland. They voted yes for the same reason I voted No. So we have some common ground and I'm hoping we can all move forward together. I really don't think this is a time to gloat but a time to rebuild bridges

Changes his mind interview to interview. "Once in a lifetime" oft spouted.
