Bluto10 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I think British folk a bit think, really. Loads of them vote to break up the unionAnd another bunch of them vote to leave Europe. Yet they still continue to vote for their governments that they apparently despise. LFDOer folksDinna waste yer time and blood pressure with politics Link to comment

mcdougall(4) Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Mods, how about making that poll visible in terms of who voted for what? We could then break down those 25 votes into categories of ill-informed, witless, English, gullible, unimaginative, shitebag or just plain simpleton. Ta. Edit: Fuck, add selfish and scared as categories too.Definitely a good few of both in 2014. civic nationalism? Link to comment
maryhilldon Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Ipsos MoriNot a lot different to 2014 then. Move along, nothing to see here. Link to comment
Parklife Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 It's definitely a generational thing. I'd expect it to happen within the decade. Link to comment
mcdougall(4) Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Representative sample But it's a guessAn educated one, but a guess nonetheless. The polling industry keeps getting it wrong yet people still buy into it. Like meteorologists Link to comment
maryhilldon Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Ive never been asked my opinion by a pollster in my life. Is that cause i tell chuggers to fuck off? Link to comment

beer gut Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Sturgeon cost the SNP 21 seats in the last general election with her indyref 2 stance. I said she'd jumped the gun when the motion was passed at Holyrood back in March 2017 and the GE result proved me right. She completely misjudged the mood of the nation and came out of it looking like a fool. 2 Link to comment

BWG Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Does anyone really give a shit?Quite a lot of people do, yes. But do tell us again about the time you went to go and vote but decided to go the pub instead. It's a classic. 3 Link to comment

Old manny Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Treachery is one of the most prominent Scottish attributes throughout history. A parcel of rogues in a nation.Given that everybody who was anybody in Scotland at that time had been bankrupted by the Darien adventure it was no surprise that the offer by England to reimburse the losses if we accepted union was jumped at. A parcel of rogues they might have been, but a parcel of fools they were not. Link to comment
Betty Swallicks Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Majority of Scots voted Yes, problem was there's too many English tories living here. Especially Aberdeen and Edinburgh. If only Aberdeen and edinburgh were shitholes like the weeg.English people wouldn't want to live there = freeeeedom! 1 Link to comment

mcdougall(4) Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Majority of Scots voted Yes, problem was there's too many English tories living here. Especially Aberdeen and Edinburgh. you keep quoting a study by edinburgh uni as if it's a fact its not its a tiny sample size for the results of the actual election 1,617,989 voted for independence the electorate is 4,283,392 (2014) so by your maths in Scotland, based on the National Records population estimate for 2014 (5,347,600) there's over 2 million non-Scots in Scotland. if you're honest that isn't even remotely feasible.

Redforever86 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 The majority of Scots who voted, voted Yes. That is true. You have to remember a lot of people born in Scotland are born to a parent or parents from out with Scotland and I'm sure this would also have an effect on the vote. Anyway we are better together as seen by stagnating wages, brexit, low/no GDP growth, NHS being privatised by the back door etc etc etc. Link to comment

dervish Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Can you provide a reference to this?It would depend on definitions.

Can't state that as we haven't polled every single one. Are there more black or white sheep in Scotland? No idea, never had a sheep census. Link to comment
