Should Scotland be an Independent Country?

  • Yes

  • No


Results are only viewable after voting.
The Scottish team doing so well at that games and Flower of Scotland being heard do much will sway the undecided towards the yes camp.

Do you think the referendum and the Glasgow games being so close together is coincidence?

Wee Eck's played a f**king blinder :smiley-finger007:
 
I'm just surprised the odds and polls aren't the other way around. The only Scottish people I (sort of) know are here on GC, and there are only 2 I can think of who are definite no voters.

That is why it is a good bet. The majority of people I know are voting yes. I have no idea where they are conducting these polls must be from inside the British legion or something.
 
You've got to look at who is paying for the polls and also who is responsible for the polls. For example, the cheif exec of YouGov is a big Tory donor. As Dan referred to earlier the polls at the last election showed it was neck and neck between Labour and the SNP. This included polls from YouGov, Mori Ipsos etc showing just one or two points between them and in one of the polls Labour were actually in the lead. On the actual day the SNP won the biggest victory in Scottish election history.

The moral of the story? You get what you pay for when you commission a poll and most of the polls showing a lead for No are paid for by Better Together or by newspapers who back the union such as the Daily Mail and Scotsman.

It's noticeable that pollsters such as Survation, who are neutral, show the No lead to be only a couple of points.

what a pile of pish.
