When I say the bookies say no, I mean the odds at ALL the bookies show it will be a no outcome. In an event with only 2 possible outcomes, the odds on all the bookies are showing there is EXTREME confidence of a No vote. The odds on a no vote are as low as 1.14 and declining, whereas the odds on a yes vote are out as much as 5.5 and rising. The odds just reflect where the money is going and so everyone is putting money on a No vote.

To put these odds in sporting terms, you would get similar odds of 1.14 for Roger Federer at his peak winning in the First Rd of Wimbledon while playing an unknown player/wildcard. That's as much a certainty as you can get with respect to bookies odds. If the odds decline much further then the bookies will stop taking bets altogether because the outcome is seen as a done deal.

I always find the odds to be a more reliable predictor of election results than any polls, simply because people take a poll/interview they will give an answer of what they want to occur. When people make bets they always place bets on what they think will occur, even if it is not what they want.

If it's a yes vote, the thing I'll be looking forward to the most is voting Alex Salmond and the SNP out.

nnnn same

Don't leave us Scotland, we'll love you better

So who's leading ?

Just over 30 mins of voting time left, then they'll start counting. First counts for some areas are due around 2am UK time, with a definitive final vote outcome due sometime around 6am-7am.

ok thanks
see yall later

I think it will be a "no" vote, but I'd be excited to see what would happen were the Scots to vote "yes".



Would Ireland have to help them or something? Also, if it were a "yes" vote it would be really interesting to see how Northern Ireland reacts.

Vote yes! vote yes! Vote yes!

I'm terrified for them

The SNP is a terrible party which I have NEVER voted for and I didn't vote yes either - it's not ignorant, I'm voting for what I think is better for my country. Stop. If we have to live in an independent country, I'd rather vote for Labour.

A 'yes' vote will be very interesting but it won't be nor, for Scotland's sake, should it be.

Hope it's a no... if this is a yes then they need to disband the European Union, cuz it would prove they have failed at uniting Europe, even after about 60 years of cooperation

European Union
Founded: November 1, 1993

Scotland voting yes would mean they're entirely independent, no other country would have to do anything for them. Ireland is in a fairly decent recovery after hitting the pits in 2009/2010 so they're not in a position to help financially and Scotland would have to compete with Ireland for foreign investment and two big problems for Scotland with that is: Ireland has the EU and US over Scotland by a landslide if Scotland leaves the UK (and this the EU) and in general Ireland has a better educated young population which helps with internal revenue generation from innovation.

EDIT: NI will moan if it's a yes or no, but tbh a no vote with the condition of more power in some aspects will have NI people up in arms wanting the same thing

The European Communities were already cooperating before they adopted the EU name... This would be the first time a country leaves the union.

Greenland was granted more autonomy and one of the first things they did was leave the European Union

Not sure about how would I feel if they succeed. I want to go to Uni in UK, and would probably apply to St. Andrews + Edinburgh too.
