Scottish Referendum.
By: Enrique Beneytez.
Almost 85%
of the electorate turned out to vote, an unprecedented proportion in recent
decades. The overall result was reached by simply adding together all ballots
but data from the 32 Scottish council areas reveal differences in voting
patterns.
The overall
result was slightly wider than predicted with 55% No to 45% Yes but the split
varied across areas. The closest result was Inverclyde with 50.1 No to 49.9%
Yes. The most emphatic No vote was Orkney where 67.2% voted against
independence, followed by Scottish Borders and Dumfries & Galloway. Dundee
was the most pro-Yes with 57.4%, followed by West Dunbartonshire and Glasgow,
which has an electorate of half a million people.
