Extrapolation means ‘estimating or concluding something that existing trends will continue or a current method will remain applicable’ by the definition I see in front of me right now.
Extrapolation is not a lie. It is a reasonable conclusion based on the evidence.
You, however, may choose to use alternative evidence to extrapolate from.

Whilst a more accurate term would be "assumption", I'm heading off topic so I will keep my contribution short and sweet.

Debatable use of "reasonable".

Extrapolation may not be a lie, but saying
Quote:
|
Reasons given included ... ...an unwillingness to buy EU goods given the attitude of the EU to trade with us in recent months.
|
when that reason wasn't given, or even mentioned, isn't extrapolation...
Or are you saying that would have been the answer to a question the survey didn't ask, but if they did, it would have been that?

Indeed - Conservatives will be tabling a no-confidence motion.
Quote:
Nicola Sturgeon is facing calls to resign after new documents raised further questions about her involvement in the Alex Salmond saga.
The government has published emails showing it continued a legal fight with Mr Salmond despite its lawyers advising it was likely to lose.
Further evidence from two other witnesses has also called into question Ms Sturgeon's version of events.
Ms Sturgeon is to face a Holyrood inquiry into the affair on Wednesday.
The Scottish Conservatives said there was "no longer any doubt that Nicola Sturgeon lied to the Scottish Parliament and broke the ministerial code on numerous counts."
The party said they would be submitting a motion of no confidence in the first minister.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
Asking around my acquaintances, I've detected a change of heart since a year ago.
They all support the union and abhor the notion of Scotland going its own way. But ...
They're tiring of the constant poisonous crap coming from the SNP and are tending towards the "sod 'em" mantra that I've been espousing for some time now. They'll be sorry, but content to watch Scotland go down as a consequence of its own folly. There will be intense interest in the "Withdrawal Agreement" and political fortunes will depend on there being no generosity from the rest of the UK.
There is some concern as to the potential flight south of wiser Scots who see the writing on the wall if the Referendum (if at all held) goes the wrong way.
All the above is why the UK government won't allow a referendum for a very long time.

With respect Seph your aquaintences are immaterial. Like it or not the SNP are playing the political aspect of Brexit in that it didn't align with the wishes of the Scots.
It doesn't matter if eventually things may turn out better or not, the Scots feel they were sidelined because of the Union. That is the hand the SNP seem to be playing. That is the hand that works for them, or at least little Jimmy Krankie.

You've misunderstood the purport of my post, Pip. If my acquaintances are English weathervanes (and you are not as I understand), then the growing "sod 'em" mentality is a heavy reason why the government won't allow a referendum.
On the "sidelined" notion of your post, the Scottish hypocrisy is stark. On the one hand, they (SNP) don't want to be bound by the EU Referendum yet they want a binding referendum on Scottish secession from the Union.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
Not sure if Wokingham Tory Waitrose shoppers are a "weathervane" on this matter.
Not that there is anything wrong with being a Wokingham Tory Waitrose shopper, but I don’t believe they could be classed as a valid sampling of the broader English electorate.

Maybe the referendum should include voters in the other UK countries to see what the feeling across the all the UK is.
