    Just looking at the final result
    No 2,001,926
    Yes 1,617,989

    Total vote 3,619,915

    Thats less than half the population of London which is over 8.3 million
    and only 2/3 the population of Yorkshire @ 5.3 Million

    heck of a lot of fuss over not much more than 5% of the population of GB

    Yes but that is those that are eligible to vote, under 16's can't so I think the actual population is about 5.5 million

    So more voted for independence and it failed?

    I thought this was Yes v No not constituency based.
