5 of 32 councils declared. The last one, Inverclyde, is a 49.9% / 50.1% to the no's. That's 86 votes [X(]

Overall so far - 45% Yes - 55% No

Dundee votes Yes in a big way...... Overall just 6,000 votes in it after 7 of 32.

After 2 Yes votes in a row, Midlothian votes strongly No

Overall its so close Yes 49 % - No 51%

How much longer before the final tally? Now I'm beginning to get on pins and needles... [:D]

Final result expected around 2 1/2 hours.

Two good wins for the No 's in East Lothian and Stirling just come through.

Overall 47% - 53%

Worryingly the sheer size of Glasgow in comparison to the rest will mean this referendum can't be called for some time yet......

Significant! SNP stronghold of Angus goes No.

Thumping win for the No's in Aberdeen city and East Dunbartonshire.

Now overall 44% - 56%

The halfway mark reached....l

Another big win for the No's - Perth and Kinross - SNP country goes No. Very strange - I would have thought SNP territory = Scottish Independence Party would mean a big Yes vote.

No surprise - Glasgow goes Yes 53% - 47%

The No's need 567,000 votes for the United Kingdom to be saved. 9 councils left to declare.

I don't want to count chickens but it looks like the drinks are on me - what are you having?

If the result is as it looks likely then no gloating from me - just profound relief.

Also, there have been two threads on this subject, the way they have been conducted says much about the people of these isles [&o]

Thanks to Matrix for allowing this hugely important subject to be discussed [&o]

East Ayrshire goes No - a big Yes vote expected here.

6 results to go - 426,000 votes to win. BBC declares the No vote to be the winners.

Isn't Great Britain the name of the island itself?

If Scotland leaves I suppose the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland would have to drop the United part?

I guess they could keep the "United" part couldn't they? There would still be England, Ireland and Wales, right?

I don't think so. It's called such due to the union between the kingdoms of England and Scotland. Wales was never a kingdom.

While Wales never where a Kingdom it sure consisted of several kingdoms.

Not that it might have had any relevance to this discussion.
