Am I missing something? I'm no polling expert, but I would suggest that you would find that the 2016 poll that is being used for comparison would be the high polling point for the SNP in the last millenium or so and as such is likely to be an outlier. The last survation poll I can find (July 2018) gave the following results on the regional list SNP 33%, LAB 21%, CON 19%, LDEM 10%, GREEN 11%, UKIP 5% When you compare this week's poll with that, you get SNP -1%, CON +4%, LAB +2%, LDEM -1%, GREEN -2%, UKIP ? It appears that the UKIP vote has returned to Lab/Con. F*cking wow! The rest is just margin of error noise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArabianKnight Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Tbf though couple of serious points raised here that folk would do well to take notice of. SNP does seem to be a little bit directionless atm. I as an independence supporter would really like to see them make hard and fast on a lot of issues that they get attacked for. They seem to sit back and rely on support quite often. Aye the media etc is stacked against them but with a little bit more effort in reaching to people outside the usual channels they could up their game and take the fight back to the yoons. All to often major issues get used as sticks to beat them with. Issues which they could easily counter with a bit of nous. Too much softly softly going on just now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
git-intae-thum Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 The issue may well be that the SNP is trying too hard to please everyone and will end up pleasing no one. Its the way it has to be though. Having more pro indy parties across the spectrum sound nice in principle. However the reality is it would split the indy vote and give a chance to a blue and red tory horror pact at Holyrood F@ck that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londonwell Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Survation poll due out shortly that has Independance option in the lead as a result of Brexit. That’s a couple now, which is good. Hopefully gives Nicola a bit of confidence moving forward. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 No looking soft. I have always believed it is. Many voted No not out of any great belief but fear. I think now that the fear of Brexit is outweighing the fear of independence. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Fucking hell. Theresa May could be replaced by a re-animated Adolf Hitler and still be more trusted than Corbyn. Also, Labour, again [emoji38] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
