Wow, crushing defeat. Looks like it will be just, barely 5 councils. Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee, West Dunbartonshire and North Lanarckshire by just 5k votes.Last edited by Ben Kenobi; September 19, 2014, 00:38.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

Err, what? Edinburgh isn't going to be yes (barring a completely shock result).
So just Glasgow then? Wow. That's pathetic support. Surprised they bothered. Glasgow was never going to be able to negotiate a 'Scotland' with just Glasgow and some of their suburbs.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

You mean except for the fact that all the other places have massive support for independence too? 45% is still hugely significant even if it's not a majority.
I'm surprised about Aberdeen, doesn't it have a lot of students?
Well, I suppose the oil industry is big there and that made the difference.

The republic of some of Glasgow and Dundee will never be independent let alone representing Scotland.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

It's not nearly as simple as urban vs rural. Aberdeen (the oil city) went No and Edinburgh (the money city) will too. Dundee and Glasgow were always going to be Yes and Fife will almost certainly be Yes too.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

The interesting question now will be, what tiny fraction of Camerons promises towards the scots will de facto enter the realm of reality.
The other interesting question may be, if the scots will be very angry about it (i.e. the most likely fact that it will be only a very tiny fraction)Tamsin (Lost Girl): "I am the Harbinger of Death. I arrive on winds of blessed air. Air that you no longer deserve."

Cameron has a pretty strong mandate. Stay the course is better liked than him personally.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.
