Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?

I've believed for some time that the Cybernats' biggest problem is that they colonised the internet so effectively in the years prior to the referendum being called that they have ended up believing their own propaganda. They have spent so many years reading overwhelmingly nationalist messages on blogs and beneath news stories at Scotsman.com that they have lost sight of the fact that it is largely their own, small, highly motivated group of fellow travellers that is responsible for it.

Plus, the Yes campaign is doing a lot of doorstepping around soft targets like Glasgow's east end council estates and sending its footsoldiers out with scripts to read and leading questions to ask. It's hardly surprising that they're getting overwhelmingly positive feedback, that's exactly what the technique is designed to produce. But all it's producing is temporary noise which allows the gullible to believe there really is going to be a two-thirds Yes vote in September.
