Scottish Independence Referendum 2

[Clydeside_Sheep]

"Indyref 2" the Scottish nationalist version of "Going for 55"

[caledonia]

 

 

Ipsos Mori

Yes is running at 50% as of 9th march up 2 points (ipsos mori) so not sure about above figure

I think British folk a bit think, really.

 

Loads of them vote to break up the union

And another bunch of them vote to leave Europe.

 

Yet they still continue to vote for their governments that they apparently despise.

 

 

LFDOer folks

Dinna waste yer time and blood pressure with politics

U wot m8?

[mcdougall(4)]

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?

Ipsos Mori

Not a lot different to 2014 then. Move along, nothing to see here.

[Parklife]

It's definitely a generational thing. I'd expect it to happen within the decade.

Representative sample

 

But it's a guess

An educated one, but a guess nonetheless.

 

The polling industry keeps getting it wrong yet people still buy into it.

 

Like meteorologists

[maryhilldon]

Ive never been asked my opinion by a pollster in my life. Is that cause i tell chuggers to fuck off?

Personally I find a Scotsman say such a thing, utterly treacherous

Which thing? Indy ref 2 or his moronic comment?

[Pash]

Personally I find a Scotsman say such a thing, utterly treacherous

 

Personally I find any Scot who voted no treasonous.

Treachery is one of the most prominent Scottish attributes throughout history.

 

A parcel of rogues in a nation.

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.

I agree entirely, but would note that she went into it looking a fool, as well as came out of it looking a fool.

Majority of Scots voted Yes, problem was there's too many English tories living here. Especially Aberdeen and Edinburgh.

She made an absolute cunt of that, which was frustrating.

[Bluto10]

Does anyone really give a shit?

[BWG]

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.

[Parklife]

You may "note" that, it's complete shite, mind you. However, so is pretty much everything you believe.

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.

If only Aberdeen and edinburgh were shitholes like the weeg.

English people wouldn't want to live there = freeeeedom!

It's funny that many Aberdonians actually believe this nonsense.

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]

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.

Can you provide a reference to this?

It would depend on definitions. If it was "those born in Scotland" then I'm fairly sure it's correct.

Can't read the whole article but its based on a survey - so to claim it as a fact is not true.

 

This is just complete misuse of what a fact is.

Youre a right miserable bastard eh.

 

Typical No voter tbf.

 

Do the majority of Dons fans dislike The Rangers? 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.
