Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
Panelbase has been pretty much discredited. They invite people to sign up and make themselves available for polling, and recently had to close their polls to new sign-ups because they had a sudden flood of them around the time the SNP started using them for its public polling on the referendum.
Unsurprisingly, with a disproportionate number of cybernats on its books, Panelbase's polls routinely show higher support for separation than any other polling organisation. And yes, their methodology is highly suspect, with a number of leading questions in the mix to help produce the 'right' result.
Panelbase is being used as a political tool by the Yes campaign to try to create the illusion of momentum and IMO they have become professionally compromised as a result.
