Scottish Independence Refrendum, polls open

[nvKyleBrown]

It was expected , but the whole 49%-51% thing had me curious , usually poles are never this close

Looking at a 45-55 split. Not that close, but no landslide for sure.

Is there a link to the counting ?

No has now a clear majority even though counting in remaining 2 counties are yet to come. Scotland's fate is sealed with Union.

There are a lot of problems with polling to predict elections. You can miss by getting unrepresentative samples, for example. In the US, pollsters try to use phone interviews. They are restricted to landlines, which gets them a non-representative sample - they get more older, less technically comfortable people. More likely to get people who don't work (home during the day).

The pollsters claim to be able to account for these issues, but the proof is in the election, where everyone actually votes (rather than just a sample).

Yep. 190k Highlanders yet to be counted, but No is up by 370k. Their opinion doesn't matter.

Fife and West Lothian most representative of the whole country, both split 45-55.

Most people are fighting and dying to get freedom while some people just have to vote , never thought it would be this easy

Most people are fighting and dying to get freedom while some people just have to vote , never thought it would be this easy

because they were not subjected to torture, discrimination, slavery etc

 

[monitor]

Scottish have rejected Independence British empire save this time with 54% said NO to independence and 46% supporting independence .

 

[TejasMk3]

But it wont be status quo though, Brit PM promised more powers and some goodies for Scotland if they chose to stay, so now they will have to make good on those.
