The Daily Show has never even been on in the UK, not on a major channel at least. I'm guessing that they just pulled an episode on some UK satellite TV channel. I didn't know that using edited footage of Parliament for comedy purposes wasn't allowed either, flip side is that you can say whatever the fuck you want in there since MPs sometimes leak secrect info in there to avoid laws.
We do.
The exit poll at the last election was so perfect that people said it must be wrong because it didn't match the polls until the real results confirmed it. Maybe that is a possible reason why.
Also part of the referendum agreement was to have no new campaigning/referendum news on the day which could influence the vote, which seems to include exit polls.

Apparently they didn't appreciate him impersonating the Queen. It was hilarious though. When they were unbanned they did another episode about the UK and the banning. More impersonating shenanigans abounded.
Really though it was the Parliamentary footage in satire.

That is weird, that wouldn't fly over here.
I am immediately suspect of any online polls, no matter what the controls, so I guess we will have to wait until tomorrow.

This referendum has been planned for years, as opposed to the hours of planning that went into the Crimean referendum. All of the process and rules were agreed upon by both sides in advance. And from that link: "In general, Borisov positively evaluated the process of voting, noting the organizers' aim for honest results."
A great quote from that same russian website:
EDINBURGH, September 18 (RIA Novosti) - Russian observers have suspicions over the "special" voting technologies used during the Scottish independence referendum and expect the announcement of results that willeither confirm or disprove their suspicions.

Oh, and the special technology that they are talking about? Royal mail (post).
