Now No is leading by 4.8 points.

That's 10 of 32 councils.

I remember the referendum in Canada. It was nerve-wracking. And here I am - I'm anxious to get the final results and I don't have any ties to the area at all, I can only hope in the end it all works out.

Yes needs to pretty much run the remaining councils at least 9-8 to win.

I's looking like it won't even be close.

The Scottish Independence Party is probably going down over this.

So far, this is a debacle for Yes.

Looking like the question of Scottish Independence is going to be put down for good.
