Just to shut every fecker up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betty Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 One of the polling stations in Greenock (Larkfield ) reporting a 75% turn out with just over 5 hours to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossy Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 The fact that areas such as Greenock are reporting huge turnouts can only be good for Yes. We need big turnouts in areas like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thplinth Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I could have went another two years The only thing that surprised me was that the narrowing did not happen sooner. But Being immersed in it you forget ordinary folk come to this late in comparison. Very late! We needed the deadline to start the 'quickening'. This is the gamble.

exile Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 IPSOS MORI confirm that their opinion polls are no longer valid if turnout in Scotland hits 80% I suspect these extra voters will go for Yes 6:47pm - 18 Sep 14 This is fascinating. For months - for years - the main argument against independence was that there was little demand for it. For months we've seen people crowing about poll results. And then we learn, that in certain circumstances, the polls are not valid.... I know everyone on here would know this, for polls in general, but the specific figure of 80% is 'electrifying'. People have suspected for weeks the turnout could be over 80% but I don't remember people saying at that point the polls would go out the window. It must be the 'silent majority' speaking up!

Heuch Moray Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 My wife went to vote there and the sign said 61% had voted at 6pm and there was still a steady flow of people. Aye there was a steady flow between 10:00 and 13:00 with a good turnout of first time voters. Any idea with the Ally McCoist Complex figures? - hmm that does sound odd!

shaddypeekey Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Today is off the scale unprecedented. The bookies, the pollsters, the political 'experts', none of them have a scoobie what's going on. Only those who've been on the ground night after night talking to people on their doorsteps are anywhere near having a handle on it. I've done a wee bit myself (need to fly under the radar campaigning wise as us military types are supposed to be apolotical) but from what I've heard from several different areas, we're not just in this, we're winning it. 65% minimum I know who you are.

jimstroma Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I am 45 next month and today was the 2nd time I have ever voted. I was undecided until a couple of weeks ago, but today I was 100%, no doubt about it a YES. Discussions with friends, family and colleagues has been very encouraging and I do not know of a single person who is not using their vote.
