Colkitto Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Ipsos Mori, 66% said they would support the vote taking place in the next decade regardless of circumstances. 58% of participants would support a vote in the next five years, regardless of the circumstances. Poll asked 1026 people whether they would support or oppose another referendum under a series of circumstances Those stats must be pretty worrying for those who support the London based parties....

Kyle Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 As I mentioned in another thread, that'll be made up by a huge number of no voters who will want to kill off the notion of Independence once and for all. It wont happen. It shouldn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A recent poll asked 3619915 people if they wanted to Scotland to secede from the UK and 55.3% said no. So forgive me if I don't really have any concern about the views of a poll with a sample size of 1026. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran it through Google translate in 15 different languages and it came up with nothing. It's not even Welsh, which surprised me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsimButtHitsASix Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Despite my own dreams of a Yes vote I figured that was that for a good 10-15 years at least but if the crap told by the unionist parties gets outed as the crap I always thought it was I would be demanding a new referendum if I was one of the 'No' voters swayed by it. Especially if we do have an in/out referendum in 2017 and we leave the EU despite Scottish opposition. I think that would give any Scottish Parliament a mandate to ask the question again.

SodjesSixteenIncher Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Obviously the interesting bit of info would be what percentage of people would actually vote Yes. Untill it's perfectly clear that there is popular support for Scottish Independence, I wouldn't be keen on another referendum. Which I imagine is more than a few years away. Everyone should keep their promises also. Salmond and Sturgeon agreed that this was settled for a generation. So presuming the Westminster parties keep to their promises, including those made right up to the vote, the SNP should do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H_B Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Then f**k any promises made between the two parliaments. Westminster would of course be able to say "this referendum has no binding force" and completely blank it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SodjesSixteenIncher Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Westminster would of course be able to say "this referendum has no binding force" and completely blank it. Yes and if I had to predict it, this is a situation I can actually see arising in decades to come. A situation whereby there is popular support for Scottish Independence but the UK Gov doesn't aknowledge it. Would be an interesting time for British democracy. Edit: To clarify, I'm not saying this will happen in 5 years or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effeffsee_the2nd Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 As much as i wanted a yes vote you've got tobe fair, just askin the question again and againuntill you get the answer you want isnt realy fair andd democratic. i said (and not with hindsight) that the end of the next decade was the most likely time for an independant scotland. The people by large were not ready for independance this year, many people give it the " ach i like the idea but it just wont work " line becuase they have been conditioned to think that for years. The best option was to get devo max on the ballot for 2014 (i know i know) becuase with that it leaves the door open to indy down the line. by that time the tide of opinion would have changed enough to get a yes vote. As dumb as it sounds labours thumping in the last election might well have been their finest hour. the snp ended up with a massive majority they were not expecting. they then had no excuse not to hold the referendum which they knew was going to be too soon for the people to go for a yes. (hence why they left it almost as long as the could into the term) all we can now hope is that the flood of new politcal memebers arent just "joining the gym after christmass" and stay about to get us plenty more seats. we'll see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collins Out! Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 It's only a matter of time. A few wee unionists posting constantly on a football forum won't change anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
