H_B Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Did you find anyone to take it? Just in case.. My usuals have closed the books.. No Bet365 did have it before 10 but didn't realise they were going to pull it. Might still be OK. 45 would be a 10 point win so im still hopeful 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Heliums Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Those No voters are just pathetic. No matter the result weve gotta move on and get more devo as promised. Or we will be back here quicker than anyone expected. Thing is, I don't give a shite about more devo of the sort that being promised. Really, what's the big deal about being responsible for housing benefit? It's like your dad paying you to cut the grass and taking the same amount off your pocket money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I'll be fucking livid if this is a yes - my potential winnings will be curtailed by over a grand due to the time i placed my bets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Ach I don't think we are going to do it and I'm absolutely devastated. Spoke with a very prominent labour peer and he Is immensely certain it's a no. I think we've had a good run but up against the media and the bullshit we just weren't strong enough The Yes side have done very well in this campaign. The referendum was premature because the SNP won power by a quirk of the d'Hondt system on an anti-Labour protest vote and due to the collapse of the Lib Dems and didn't really have a proper mandate for it. Cameron and co went for it because they thought they could kill the issue stone dead with a landslide No. Another 15 or 20 years or so of squabbling over the West Lothian question and the Barnett formula is on the cards if No wins it and once the older generation has departed stage right you'll probably wind up getting what you want. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Kelly Isley III Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Let the Yes seethe begin There will be no seethe from this Yes voter I can assure you, it's the democracy thing you see. And perhaps the good ship UK will indeed limp into port but it's fatally holed below the waterline. The mould is broken, the dam is breached, the mirror is shattered and Gordon Brown's gonads which he injudiciously placed on a chopping board will start to feel gey tender in the coming months. I'm old enough to remember 1979 and all that, but I'm still young enough to see things come around again. Sure there will be disappointment but no dismay. And remember veikbe, if it is to be your night then there's way of accepting victory as well as defeat - I have to say you've made a poor start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, what's the big deal about being responsible for housing benefit? It's like your dad paying you to cut the grass and taking the same amount off your pocket money. Surely the grass should be cut to earn the pocket money in the first place? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbornbairn Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 10pm: Polls close after what is expected to be one of the highest turnouts in British electoral history. There have even been reports this evening that a polling station in Falkirk closed early because it had already had a 100% turnout. http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/scottish-independence-referendum-live-updates-7790319 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboy Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Very surprised he's done it. He's literally put his company's reputation on the block. or he's going to put a million quid on yes and sail off into the sunset 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye the battle may be lost be think it's only a matter of time till the war is won. Even 45% is well beyond what I though was the Yes celling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibby82 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I think people think it is a exit poll and there is none. So think the bookies have overrated imho Indeed. All polls bar one have indicated a win for NO at fifty-odd per cent. YES has always needed the polls to be wrong, through first time voters and/or higher turnout, so not sure this You Gov poll tonight really changes anything as such. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaven Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 This sums up this country to a tee. Someone only needs to say I'm confident of a win and everyone else crumbles and admits defeat, even before a single result is given. Get a grip lads. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraser Fyvie Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Not looking forward to the inevitable vandalism by the Yes voters who can't accept the result. Bedtime for me, nothing to see here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Has to be said the last two Scottish elections didn't follow the anticipated script, but it would be a major shock at this point. The side pushing for the radical change usually needs to be a few points up going into the vote to actually win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
