LJS Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 As a European, A Brit, and an Englishman... I am scared we are all about to take a massive step backwards... We should be moving together instead of moving apart... Hoping I don't wake up to a broken and divided nation... It would be a huge mistake... I hope the "little" Scotlanders don't have their way... Night all... Barry, hate to break it to you, but you already live in a broken & divided nation which is one of the reasons why Yes have done so well.

Comfy Bean Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Dundee turnout predicted at 90% ! Go Dundee !! They will deliver a YES. Just switched over to SKY. That Kay ? just stuck the mic into the SNP fella and said, while smiling " Youre gonna lose this aren`t you " She`s a roaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomised Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Whats your gut feeling right now LJS and do you think the high turnout favours either side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomThomDrum Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 fair do's. Anyway, it's not over yet. I seem to be the only person here with any positivity left for the yes vote, and I'm a filthy london-dweller I still have my romantic candle burning bright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to be the only person here with any positivity left for the yes vote, and I'm a filthy london-dweller I'm split russy ...I'm hearing from friends lots of real world examples of people moving to yes. But the guys on the telly dem to be assuming no. God knows. The opinion polls have been bizarre. They were all over the place for ages then suddenly in the last week they all fell into am uncanny line. I have no real theory as to why this happened. I am still hopeful...ish.

atomised Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Definitely, whatever the result the engagement level is something to be proud of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wonderwhy Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 So even less than 3000? If that's the case, the YouGov president must be fecking confident to have made an assertion like he did earlier. Supposedly the 2,600ish people they asked had also taken part in earlier polls about voting intention. Therefore they were able to compare the two sets of data to see if there had been any change. Or something like that. From that they came up with two statements: - A small shift from 'Yes' to 'No' - A greater turnout from those intending to vote 'No' (I'm not saying I think there's much in their crappy poll, just trying to explain it a bit further ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wonderwhy Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 The actual YouGov website explains it better than me http://yougov.co.uk/news/2014/09/18/yougov-referendum-prediction/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russycarps Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 I'm split russy ...I'm hearing from friends lots of real world examples of people moving to yes.

They were all over the place for ages then suddenly in the last week they all fell into am uncanny line. I have no real theory as to why this happened. I am still hopeful...ish. Yeah, it seems utterly bizarre that there was that poll putting yes ahead, then the next day it was a done deal for no and the bookies paid out. Very strange and I can't help thinking there has been some manipulation of some sort, even if it was just psychologically. Not over yet though, but the bookies odds are ridiculously short now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russycarps Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Anyway fuck staying up for this, I've got to get up at 6 and be in work early to sift through the wreckage of a potential yes vote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJS Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 I think turnout may not be high enough in poorest areas for yes to win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomised Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 I thought the yes percentage would've been higher in Glasgow than speculation suggests Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomised Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Past the halfway point then. 15 out of the 17.so far gone to no, not all over yet but looking like that's the way it will go.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eFestivals Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Scotland is still colonised by w*nkers (no insult meant. It's a line from Trainspotting, for those who don't know). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 I've just tweeted this - and i think it's the most important reform of all....constitutional reform without voting reform would be pointless. Proportional representation must be part of the package. #NewUK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
