Confidemus Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 .. Yes would have finished on 54.3%. Now I realise this is semantics, but it's quite an interesting statistic to me, insofar as it shows that the generation who want REAL change aren't going anywhere. Thoughts?

Musketeer Gripweed Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 The yes campaign obviously didn't do enough to convince them to vote for them. Maybe next time they will listen to everyone, young and old alike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 The yes campaign obviously didn't do enough to convince them to vote for them. In all fairness it would have been a big ask going around bawling and shouting in the ear of hundreds of thousands of white headed dithering old dim-wits, that don't know the time of day.

CowdenConvert Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 How do you know? I didn't put my age on my voting slip, did you? Confidemus did. The roman numeral for 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 It is interesting to see the result broken down by demographic groupings. I'm not daft on the sub-text emerging though, about how older voters have held things up and are somehow undeserving of a voice. One of the most disappointing elements of the result is the fear that our most vulnerable stand to become moreso under right wing Westminster rule. Many of the elderly are among our most vulnerable and attacking them in this way is unfair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Northerner Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Has anybody done the in-depth analysis assuming that you discount *all* the no voters? The more and more overt demonizing of specific sections of society by Westminster and its media friends was the trigger for me moving from not voting to Yes. Disappointing to see it being used here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 How do you know? I didn't put my age on my voting slip, did you? It's from a poll the corrupt Tory Tax exile Lord Ashcroft did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be interesting - but we are relying on a rubbish poll with a tiny sample group, unless anyone has access to anything other than the Ashcroft poll from last night.

Well that's true too. All the same people who distrusted polls sufficiently to think a YES was on the cards; also wish to be completely reliant on this one in order to confirm their unpleasant little prejudices.

Confidemus Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 I thought they REAL change merchants would be heading to Norway or Panama Ah, Panama. Rated at 9th in the world recently by the World Economic Forum, ahead of the UK's 89th. Yet, according to Alistair Darling, a "basket case".

ICTChris Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I think the Ashcroft poll is based on small samples - the 16-17 year old figures were based on less than 20 examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
