Regional turnout figures so far (from the BBC):
Eastern 43.1%
London 35.4% (I guessed correctly that the lack of local elections would suppress the turnout).
North East 38.7%
North West 39.7%
Scotland 50.7% (Not too surprising)
South West 44.6%
West Midlands 39.8%
Yorkshire and Humber 39.9%

Vaguely encouraging, actually. More in line with 60-40 than with 66-34. Tongue

Well, the polling was correct. Not much to say beyond that.

Have to agree.  I know the ERS is run on a shoestring but the Yes campaign really plumbed new depths.

Depressing. It seems as all electoral reform movements through referenda in the western world falls flat on its nose. Voters are too dumb to see that FPTP is sh**t.

Atleast Clegg can take comfort that the 'Yes' vote is running ahead of his approval rating.

The official results site seems to be down, at least for me.

Not that the result is really in doubt or anything.

Perhaps they just rationally prefer FPTP over AV?

I wonder what tensions will surface in Labour?
