    President of YouGov Peter Kellner says whilst he once said there was an 80% of a 'No' victory, now believes is a 99% chance

    Last poll: 54% No. 46% Yes.

    Apparently Glasgow may be voting yes.

    Poll of those already polled before today on how they actually voted points to a certain No victory, 54% to 46%.

    Sounds like Falkirk has voted 'No'.

    If that's the case Salmond isn't going to win.

    Salmond has won no matter what the result.

    Allegations of electoral fraud in Glasgow; people turned up to vote only to find that they'd apparently already voted

    Criminal investigation launched

    Salmond has won no matter what the result.
    When he's been rejected by the majority of people he's been appealing to?

    For 15 years.

    Did they do a postal vote and then turn up anyway? I wouldn't put it past some people.

    Whatever the result it's been a great day for democracy.

    Reports of turnouts between 85% and 90%.

    Indeed. The only countries that manage higher turnouts are Russia, Zimbabwe and North Korea.

    No one will beat the 132% turnout in Russia.

    This is now getting hilarious on BBC1. The NO Vote has obviously won quite comfortably but as they are paying people all night to work they are trying to drag out the result. Jeremy Vine is as unfunny as his brother is and the succession of YES people Hugh Edwards has had on his panel have all looked as uncomfortable as their predecessor. As time goes on and reports come in it is comical the way these people hang on to the ridiculous theory that the Nationalists may win that just makes the YES lot look stupid.
    It's all over, it was all over years ago.

    Word is that Glasgow has gone YES. That was always a given but the vote is only 56/44 and they really needed a lot higher than that. Really needed 66/44.

    66/44? Is that including those votes SELR mentioned earlier? ;-)

    Gordon Brown has seemed very keen to cede more powers to Scotland in the wake of a tight vote. If only he was ever in a position of authority where he might have actually enabled further devolution.

    Gordon Brown's constituency is in Scotland, he needs a NO or he'll be out of a job eventually. That is why he was promising Scotland the world the other day.

    This may have been asked before, but I wonder what the vote would be in England if we were offered to go independent from Scotland, Wales and N Ireland?

    I really cannot see that being much different from 90/10 in favour.

    First result 54:46 for no but no idea how that area fits in to bigger picture - assume no vote will be guaranteed within the hour (or two) as other results come in.
    England doesn't need independence because London has been running the show. We are on the bigger stage because of our history and values.
    What matters is people's participation and the big ideas on the table for our country in this century.

    Biggest result so far. Yes would have been expected there, very strong SNP support.
