Polling companies and polls are there to do a job. Snapshots of public opinion etc etc. What they must never, ever do is replace or be used to justify what real people in real ballots vote for. Opinion polling has been used thus far by the Tories and other parties to deny the Scottish Parliament and thus Scottish voters wishes.

I see though that now that the opinion polls are turning Jo Swinson, Jeremy Hunt and others are now trying to deny the democratically elected Scottish Parliament wishes - on the strength that the SNP lost seats and run a minority Govt. This from the 'People's vote yaaay to a second referendum (- not you Scotland)' Lib Dems and from a Tory party enacting Brexit using the DUP. Could things get any dafter ? Panic, depesperation and hypocrites.

In other news https://www.thenational.scot/news/17744172.scottish-independence-lidington-blocks-release-of-key-poll/ Guessing it's not good news for the Union here.

And oooooh a Devolution 'Review'. Lucky us. I think we all know this review is the start of devolution being rolled back in order to accomodate Brexit requirements. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-48848660

Hope Nicola's got the engine running...:cool:

Good day.

Yet you sir, seem strangely compelled to read my posts and respond to every single one of them. Without any obvious knowledge at all on this subject.

I suggest that underneath all your manly chest puffy bluster, you may well be repressing hidden feelings of admiration and intrigue. Why else the overwhelming need to make ones presence known at my every utterance on a thread and subject you so dislike ? I can think of no other explanation...


Ps Try very, very hard not to respond to this one. Though I know it must be difficult for you.

Wouldn't do much good she can't drive, maybe her Green friend Patrick Harvie will act as her chauffeur, she already has to rely on him a lot.

Going to be a challenge to find someone willing to fund a GRID network to support electric cars.

Who was it who posted 'polls schmolls'? Do you remember Shakey? Since when is 5-600 people more than 50% of the electorate?

No one said it was. And the point I was making ? About some parties using opinion polls in order to justify or deny true mandates won via the ballot box... has obviously flown over your head and passed you by completely.

hearing rumours that the Tories are totally bricking it, a FOI wasrequested about the latest polling regarding indy ref and was refused ... Rumours from alleged inside sources say it was shown to be 72% in favour for indy.

Allegedly Mrs May is now re looking at the devolution settlement
