You're joking, right?

I suppose the humidity down south fried your sarcasm detector.

Accuracy matters more than speed.

If only we had the technology for voting that is both quick and accurate!

I was pleased to see Orkney Islands, one of my ancestral regions, vote No by about 2-1.

Stop.

Nothing is certain, other than that the 'yes' campaign has already won relative to expectations. Anything over 45% and the 'no' will have a soulless victory, and certainly not a commanding voice for the status quo.

What does this even mean? I've never understood the obsession people put into a few random points up and down the margin. It always comes off as silly and immature (Antonio's whining when Hollande prevailed by a closer margin coming to mind).

No could prevail at a 5% margin or a 15% margin, and the outcome is exactly the same. At the end of the day, the win is all that matters.

It was supposed to be 50/50.

Dumfries margin was twice what was expected.

Based off the polls all of the undecideds broke to 'No.'
