:00:46. > :00:48.in the history of Scotland, and at around 1am we will get because of
:00:49. > :00:53.the turnout, that will give us an indication, and between three and
:00:54. > :00:58.6am the results. To come in and we will get a bigger picture. Around
:00:59. > :01:02.breakfast time we will get the final result and then we will know whether
:01:03. > :01:09.or not Scotland will remain part of the union. The world is watching and
:01:10. > :01:10.what is clear is that after this campaign, politics here will never

:01:36. > :01:40.been a central theme of politics here so it may be no surprise that
:01:41. > :01:44.unionists have been openly campaigning for Scotland to remain
:01:45. > :01:50.in the UK, by and large nationalists have been playing their cards close
:01:51. > :01:55.to their chests, saying it is up to the Scottish. Within the early sense
:01:56. > :02:01.of how the responders might work out, I'm joined by MPs from the DUP
:02:02. > :02:03.and Sinn Fein. If this is a yes vote, it would be a huge
:02:04. > :02:13.psychological blow to Unionists here? Yes, across the UK. I'm hoping
:02:14. > :02:16.it won't be the case, I'm hoping the no vote. Be the majority at the end
:02:17. > :02:23.of the night and Scotland will remain within the union but whatever
:02:24. > :02:29.the result, it'll change things. Time to come off the fence, really,
:02:30. > :02:34.Sinn Fein have been saying, we are neutral, but you are really willing
:02:35. > :02:38.the yes campaign on, aren't you? It is up to the Scottish people but we
:02:39. > :02:44.are delighted to see such a high turnout, whatever the outcome will
:02:45. > :02:48.be, it has been a fascinating debate, and I think the future of
:02:49. > :02:54.the union is going to be different. I agree with that. The next years
:02:55. > :02:58.will be interesting, and of course it opens up the debate for other
:02:59. > :03:05.parts and will be looking carefully at the result. Even if there is a no
:03:06. > :03:09.vote, there are occasions for the function of yourselves as MPs, the
:03:10. > :03:15.powers at Stormont, should our local politicians be part of any Anglo
:03:16. > :03:21.Scottish negotiations? This has to be part of the UK as a whole, if
:03:22. > :03:23.Westminster is affected, we are all affected so we will be pushing for a
:03:24. > :03:29.seat at the table because any discussion has to involve Northern
:03:30. > :03:35.Ireland and Wales as well as Scotland and England. Thank you
