Scotland's official declaration will be after the Western Isles has counted the votes, there is no counting there on Sunday.
This will not make any difference to the current result viz SNP 3 seats, LibDems 1 seat, Tories 1 seat, and Brexit 1 seat.
Doesn't change much, Scotland still wants to remain in the EU.
No but it will make more accurate the overall pro Remain statistic.

I, ve got a friend who is a year older than you flecc.... Still windsurfing at sea and in any winds... He, s good too. Its only a number, I keep telling myself, as my knees fall apart and heart is in AF... Makes interesting sailing... Like trying to get that extra few miles out of a flat battery...
"well my specialist said I should be ok" must be common words for St Peter..
Yup. We're all falling apart. Though me slightly less as last Monday I had my right hip replaced - and today a week and a bit later I am walking around without crutches. Though still a decent amount of pain there but not the stabbing stuff down my legs of before and we're still only one week afterwards so I am hopeful.

So long as I am fit enough to throw insults at OG my life's mission will be complete.

Best wishes on a speedy recovery. The improvements in hip and knee surgery are staggering ( pun intended). I endured a wonky knee since age 21 and a sports injury and only got it done a year ago,after it was starting to lock up. If I cycle or walk every day, no pain, and highly satisfactory!.

I think we need to dispel the notion that the Brexit party is new born recently, it's just a rebranding of UKIP as shown in this Wikpedia article
"The Brexit Party is a Eurosceptic political party in the United Kingdom. Established in 2019, it is led by Nigel Farage. Ahead of the 2019 European Parliament election, the party had fourteen Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) and four Welsh Assembly Members, all of whom were originally elected as candidates of the UK Independence Party (UKIP).

Clearly it is really UKIP with it's backside shampooed, sprayed with Eau de Cologne and Merkin curled and coloured

Thanks for the sentiment. Much appreciated.

Sure. Black and white. Let's ignore the 9% of Tory votes eh? Let's not include that % in the leave vote huh? Sure. Black and white. You know - the Tory party where at least 80% voted leave. But - you're a robot - you just repeat what you hear so long as it agrees with whatever was in your head 3s before.
Face it my friend, it’s over. People are starting to see through the BS and false promises. Remain is gaining momentum and will win the next referendum when it inevitably happens.

How on earth do you come to a conclusion that the Tory related vote was a Leave vote?. My interpretation , at least as valid, is that it was a Remain vote. Any Tory voter who was pro hard Brexit would have voted for the ..err Brexit Party (Recall that before the election that was the presumption.). I would not make the same conclusion for the Labour related vote,which was and is ambiguous. The best ..from your viewpoint which could be attributed to the Tory and Labour vote,was that tgey prefer a Soft Brexit..or a Brexit with a Deal.
Having said that,a 32% national vote for an organisation (Brexit Party) which did not exist a month ago is an incredible result.
all the conjecture and analysis is irrelevant. We had a democratic peoples vote. We decided we wanted to leave as per the question asked. All the politicians should honour that vote and take us out. If we then decide that we can't survive without the EU running our country then it is up to the same people to make the case for us rejoining, if they'll have us that is. All the mainstream politicians have behaved like a bunch of spoiled kids, just because they did not get the result they wanted and indeed expected. If voting is to be taken seriously in future, they have got to enact the result of this one. Otherwise what is the point of voting
