If it's a strong No, then it will align with the Labour leadership.

With thon Milliband lad, surely thats an oxymoron!

Paddy Power has No at 5/1 on. Yes is 7/2.
Surprised PP hasn't done their usual publicity stunt of paying out early yet. Probably announce it straight at 10pm otherwise.

Those tweets have vanished. No doubt his account was hacked.

They haven't, you need to click on the tweets and replies tab.

I stand corrected. Still expecting "my account was hacked" though.

He is a classy guy based on his tweets of the 10th April...

I'm beginning to wonder whether that's a meat puppet account I set up while sleep-walking to make my enemies look bad!

I haven't heard the possible effects of the huge turnout discussed. An amazing 90% is being predicted. I would have thought that would strongly favour Yes. Do we know if this is factored into the poll predictions?

This is true democracy at work, not those general elections where you get to vote for various parties who either have no say whatsoever in running the place or are just mirror images of one another.

Anything over 80% would be extraordinary.

But not sure it helps the Yes.
All the bookies are still broadly in agreement. No 1/5, Yes 7/2.

It'll disappoint me when the Scots bottle it and a 'No Vote' wins. Media stoking it up closer than it is as it makes good TV.

You'd like to think that an issue like this would bring out the vote. At the end of the day they are voting for their status as a country. I'm not sure if it favours Yes. Surely No voters would be just as motivated, out of fear, to come out and protect the Union?
