    ITV Clackmanshire neck and neck

    I predicted 50.75% Yes, 49.25% No.
    Hey Andy, which of your spreadsheets is the one to watch in terms of actual figures being entered?

    1st declaration in Clackmannasnshire? Then North Lanks? What happened to Western Isles?

    BBC Parliament feed (Sco) seems to be less offensive than others.

    Interesting a lot of agreement between Jim Sillars and Michael Forsyth on ITV on lack of differences between main parties and lack of thought into new constitution plans

    That hasn't stopped him posting many, many, many times over the past 24 hours. His silence is rather deafening.

    If NO win, will he be back?

    He's talking to Huw Edwards right now (or at least a YES fan named Malcolm!)

    So to summarise

    South Ayrshire NO, as predicted
    Dundee YES, as predicted
    Borders NO, as predicted
    Edinburgh, NO, as predicted but much more than predicted
    North Lanarkshire: YES, against predictions but not by much
    North Ayrshire: YES, against prediction and by quite a lot
    Falkirk: NO, against prediction but not by much

    So: things still on for a No. Falkirk cancels out North Lanarkshire, and North Ayrshire's switch to Yes is outweighed by Edinburgh's massive No.

    Fair summary?

    This woman on BBC reporting from the Midlothian count sounds like she doesn't really know what to say. Ramble ramble ramble

    She's my favourite. I dont know what to make of it - except it's not punditry.

    Numbercruncher reckoned that with an overall tie Dundee would be 58.1% Yes and Clackmannanshire 56.7% Yes. If Yes have only just won Dundee and neck and neck in Clackmannanshire then YES are in big trouble.

    FT columnist

    "There is no easy answer. Anyone sensible who has been watching events in Scotland will draw unnerving conclusions. If today’s elites do not provide more closely accountable government they will be swept aside by the politics of exclusion. A globalisation that enriches the richest and impoverishes the rest is not sustainable. The case for open, inclusive societies has to be remade."

    They do things by the book in the northern isles.

    How close would it need to be to force a total recount?

    Unfortunately I'm not entering the real figures because I only have an iPad with me at the moment and it's difficult to use a spreadsheet with those.

    The low turnout in Dundee may indicate that not as many newly registered voters have actually voted compared to the hopes of the Yes campaign. Will be interesting to see the turnout for Glasgow in case there is a similar number.

    One of the curiosities that bears examination is that far more 16-17 year olds were added to the register in Dundee than actually exist. Maybe these kids, whose ages apparently went down to 11, did not in fact turn up.

    Probably less than 50,000 votes overall.

    We have no results yet, can't just go on whether people in Yes look glum.

    There will be no total recounts - these can only happen on a local authority basis

    That's a huge statement by Cameron. Wow.

    I'd be surprised if his stock doesn't now rise. If it wasn't for that berk Carswell a GE2015 victory would be a certainty from here.
