Renfrewshire is NO (that's basically Paisley: big place), Dundee is YES

And narrows to 50.91-49.09 with Dundee in.

This is getting interesting now.

So are these good signs for a "No" outcome or not?

Both are very closely in line with the local election results.

Dundee went stronger for Yes than expected in the polls.

Ugh

"Former SNP MSP Andrew Wilson has just declared that he thinks the SNP should get involved in talks about more devolution for Scotland, should indeed Scotland vote "No" in the referendum.

This is the first sign that the SNP may well try to use their vote in this referendum to push the demand for more devolution yet further, rather than stand aside as they did on the occasion of the Scottish constitutional convention."

This is a silly comment. What else would they do.

Agree. On the one hand, what's wrong with further devolution? On the other hand, some people think that Cameron made a mistake in not considering that option in the referendum. He was so certain in a huge victory for the so-called 'unionism' that he thought he could bury the 'Scottish problem' for some decades.

I'm getting the impression there's an urban -rural divide here.  If "Yes" wins in Glasgow by a huge margin but fails miserably everywhere else, I guess that means the "Yes" camp didn't do a good job getting its message out outside of big cities.

Am I wrong to assume this?  I'm asking because I don't know much about Scotland.

Dundee may be YES, but it is the first council to have under 80% turnout. That can't be good for the YES.

Why the "so-called" and why the scare quotes? British unionism certainly qualifies as legitimate unionism in my book, and the connotation and denotation of "unionism" seem about the same.

Map so far:




Red=no, and green=yes.  No currently leading by a little over a thousand votes out of 400,000 counted.

Also ideology. The Yes campaign in Glasgow has been more about socialism than nationalism. Its very different from the Tartan Tories in the NE.
