It's only one region, guys. Sure, it may be a bellwether, but there's no guarantee. I would caution against even thinking about the calling the race based on this ONE region.

And the clock strikes 2 in the U.K. Per 538, another seven regions should report between now and 3:00.

telegraph.co.uk:

02.10: Dan Snow, the television historian, who ran the 'let's stay together' campaign, has been speaking to The Telegraph in Glasgow
 Christopher Hope, Senior Political Correspondent, is in Glasgow and sends this:
Britain nearly broke up because the politicians failed to take the threat from the separatists in ScotIand seriously, Dan Snow, the TV historian, has said.
Mr Snow who led a prominent campaign to get people to sign a pledge to save the Union said he could not understand the complacency among Westminster politicians in the months before Thursday's vote.
Speaking to The Daily Telegraph at the No Thanks campaign’s party in Glasgow he said: “This referendum campaign has been in the diary for years.
“The Westminster establishment was not taking it seriously. I was in London, I was looking around London and I could not understand why Ed Miliband was not living in Glasgow.
“This country had the potential to fall about and his Labour party was being eclipsed.
“If it is a narrow result I think our politicians have failed to sell the case for an amazing country. And a country that is self evidently flourishing and succeeding.”
He added that it was “tragic” that so many people appeared to have embraced nationalism in the Scottish referendum.
“It is heart breaking so I will find it quite hard to celebrate tomorrow,” he added.

Just for the sake of argument, if Yes did win, would Scotland remain part of the EU? Would they have to apply and wait years for admission? Would they be forced to adopt the Euro?
They'd have to reapply for admission. No clue about Currency.

We were supposed to have ~8 regions in right now, and only have 3.

Even Missouri could count these ballots faster.....

Yes.  But this speed still beats Westchester County of NY which has to be the slowest county in all of USA in terms or vote counting.
Slower than Santa Rosa County, FL? That was literally the LAST county to come in (in FL) in both 2008 and 2012.

I'm not calling it until, at the earliest, whenever we get the first region with a population of greater than 100,000. The vote difference is small enough that the large population centers can easily swing it back if they vote the right away.

Whoever made that list of reporting time estimates clearly knows NOTHING about U.K. Reporting.

Outside of a huge margin in the largest population centers, this is over.
