Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
Panic stations! All hands on deck etc, etc, etc.
"Scotland offered increased powers as parties unite to rally no voters. George Osborne says country will get more say in its own tax, spending and welfare after surge in support for yes campaign".
All of the tough talking rhetoric on welfare and the NHS in recent weeks won't have helped.
Cardigan.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
One of the rags said on it front pafe that if there is a YES vote a border control would be set in place.
Which could mean if you live in Scotland and you work in England, and you have committed certain offences you could possible refused entry in to England/UK.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
I really hope these latest polls are just a blip and that common sense prevails and more people will choose to vote no on the day.

This would, of course, work both ways.

As Chris said earlier, the Canadian solution is looking ever more likely.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
It seems the yougov weighting has turned a 53:47 in favour of the Union into a yes majority.

This isn't unusual. You can't use unweighted samples because it distorts the results. In that one especially they seem to have a lot of English born voters.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
In all honesty, I think it's quite silly to read anything into a survey of 1084 people, especially when another one says the opposite to it.

Only if there was an oil union. If it's their pound too, it's our oil too

The referendum is potentially 5 million voters. 1084 voters doesn't really cut it in my book.

The Panelbase isn't that different really. A point or two off when you consider margin of error. The survey's are constructed to represent the population at large, hence sampling and weighting. They're usually pretty accurate.

Isn't the "Yes" argument the other way around? IE Because it's supposedly also Scotland's Pound that currency union is automatically there as a result of that.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
Article as to why Scottish Independence isn't to be welcomed down South: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-29103437
Quote:
So in a UK whose prospects are shrouded, sterling is likely to fall some more, and - the really irksome thing - the cost of capital for borrowers north and south of the border is likely to rise.
Which would mean businesses would invest less and consumers would spend less for just as long as it was impossible to see the shape and strength of the rest of the UK's economy and that of Scotland.
