Hello from Glasgow, where we're up all night to bring you referendum | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
We'll have updates for you every hour. | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
There are 32 separate counts in Scotland, one in each | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
We're live at a selection of count centres, from Kirkwall in the north | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
Our political editor Brian Taylor and politics professor Nicola McEwen | :00:24. | :00:31. | |
are here to help make sense of the results. | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
Counting is already well under way across the country. | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
So let's get a sense of how the count process works | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
by going live to our reporters Stephen Godden in Falkirk and, first | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
This is denied, the polls have closed and -- it is Thursday night. | :00:46. | :01:09. | |
The vote will be counted by constituency. The difference is that | :01:10. | :01:16. | |
there will be just one big declaration here and we hope for | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
that just before 3am. The smart money for Glasgow, which is now such | :01:23. | :01:31. | |
an SNP stronghold, is Remain but it will be interesting to see how much | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
of the SNP vote do not agree with the leadership. Turnout we are | :01:36. | :01:44. | |
hearing has been quite good today. We are interested to see whether it | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
is young or old turning out most. My colleague is at the Scottish count | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
HQ. Welcome to the Grangemouth sports | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
complexes at this building has a dual function tonight. The | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
volunteers are already hard at work on counting. They are counting the | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
votes for the Falkirk Council area. It works the same here as in all 32 | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
council areas. The votes are verified and counted and then they | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
require permission to declare. That is the second function. This is the | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
regional centre for the EU referendum in Scotland. At the end | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
of the night, we will get to the official total for how Scotland has | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
voted. Unless it comes down to the final Council area we will already | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
know how Scotland has voted. Perhaps it will not come with some of the | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
future you would expect in the election context but it will be | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
loaded with significance which you will no doubt be discussing. | :02:50. | :02:58. | |
How do you expect Scotland to vote? Scotland represents less than a 10th | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
of the overall electorate of the UK but there have been clear and | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
consistent majorities in favour of Remain in Scotland. No doubt it will | :03:09. | :03:18. | |
be one of if not the most enthusiastic nation in the UK to | :03:19. | :03:31. | |
vote Remain. Let's look at a couple of possible scenarios. What of the | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
UK votes to leave and Scotland votes to remain? Whittier from Nicola | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
Sturgeon. I don't think it's any surprise to | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
hear that I think in those circumstances it would be vital for | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
Scotland's voice to be heard directly and for us to sit to our | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
European partners about how we protect our place in Europe and the | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
single market but that is a discussion for Friday if we are in | :03:58. | :04:06. | |
that position because I hope -- but I hope we are not in that position. | :04:07. | :04:17. | |
She is trying to protect Scotland's connection with the EU institutions. | :04:18. | :04:26. | |
She is setting up the respect of a further independence referendum. In | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
the event there is a belief vote in the UK and a -- Leave vote in the UK | :04:30. | :04:42. | |
and a Remain vote in Scotland, she would try to have a second | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
independence referendum. She is seeking power for that to happen. In | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
terms of coverage and the campaign in Scotland, it has been relatively | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
tepid. Boris Johnson was in Scotland today at his daughter's graduation | :05:00. | :05:07. | |
at the University of Saint Andrews. What if Scotland keeps the rest of | :05:08. | :05:15. | |
the UK in? That would be interesting. Those who advocate a | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
Leave vote would complain but they would have no grounds to do so | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
because they were in the campaign in 2014 to keep Scotland in the UK. | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
Nonetheless it would be an entertaining scenario in terms of | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
political tension. Any idea of turnout? Higher than expected. It | :05:38. | :05:46. | |
could potentially benefit Remain. Let's take a quick look at the | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
weather forecast. Many of us have had a fine end to | :05:49. | :05:56. | |
the day with some spells of sunshine. Further towards the west, | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
some showers and these will become more frequent, turning into a longer | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
spells of rain. But all of us will more frequent, turning into a longer | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
stay mild. Showers towards the West will spread further inland. For | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
towards the east coast and the Northern Isles, some mist and low | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
cloud. Temperatures will hold on to double figures. Mild and humid. | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
Tomorrow morning, cloud and rain still with us for a time but | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
throughout the day there will be some sunshine and scattered heavy | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
showers. Some of these have the risk of hail and thunder. Feeling warm | :06:30. | :06:40. | |
again. Saturday is a similar day. Further heavy showers. Perhaps not | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
as torrential as the ones we expect tomorrow. In between the showers | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
there will be some sunny spells and temperatures similar in the mid to | :06:50. | :06:50. | |
high teens. Our next update is | :06:51. | :06:52. | |
at just after 23:30. We expect our first Scottish | :06:53. | :07:02. | |
declaration, possibly Orkney, around midnight. | :07:03. | :07:05. |
