In their eyes they believe that by "convincing" us that Devo whatever is still "available" then we will all vote NO, they'll win the referendum and we'll get egg on our face and powers will be REMOVED from Holyrood as "payment" for believing their garbage!Arbroath 1320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-85020676565531264652013-08-13T18:45:07.678+01:002013-08-13T18:45:07.678+01:00That ship long long ago so it's now all or not...That ship long long ago so it's now all or nothing since devo whatever was denied by the loyalist parties.

No.<br /><br />I'd venture to suggest that we no longer have many journalists worth their salt, or at least none that are prepared to fight the editors, who are run by the proprietors, in whose interests it is to remain shackled to the dying duck that is the UK.<br /><br />I'm told that during the war newspapers printed what the government wanted them to print. Of course there was a law at that time about not causing alarm and despondency. I wonder if the staunch unionists from London see this possible break up of 'their' country in the same light as they saw the threat from Nazi Germany, and as such as prepared to throw journalistic integrity to the winds in the interests of Great Britain? <br /><br />I think Stu said that there is sufficient money for another poll.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-45452540308082375832013-08-12T23:46:00.672+01:002013-08-12T23:46:00.672+01:00I have no problem in asking my partner/carer for a...I have no problem in asking my partner/carer for another tenner in a few months time for another Panel base poll. lol<br /><br />The only thing that concerns me is if we'll get a BETTER reaction from the MSM/BBC than the one this poll has received. Personally I have my doubts that anyone involved in the MSM/BBC will have the guts to stick their heads above the parapet and openly evaluate the findings. The only way to spread the results of this or any other crowd funded poll is via Twitter/Facebook/on line news sites/word of mouth etc.<br /><br />All a journalist worth their salt had to do was present the findings of this poll and comment on it being a one off but that it did highlight that the whole Independence referendum vote appears to be a lot closer than others have indicated up till now!

His fourth para reads:<br /><br />If a survey is to acquire reliable information on how many people propose to vote in line with the recommendation of the party they support it needs to ask not one question but two – how do people propose to vote in the referendum and how they would vote in an election or how they voted in the past – and then cross-analyse the results to see how many people say both Yes and SNP, etc. We should not expect survey respondents to do the work for us.<br /><br />However, if you actually read the questions asked in the poll you'll find these:<br /><br />1) Q7. If you currently know how you plan to vote in the referendum, how does that intention compare to the official position of the party you voted for in the WESTMINSTER general election of 2010?<br /><br />2)Q8. There will be a SCOTTISH Parliament election in 2016 regardless of the outcome of the referendum. Thinking about how you are CURRENTLY most likely to vote in that election, might your voting intention change depending on whether Scotland was independent or not?<br /><br />3)D3. Did you vote in Scotland in the 2011 Scottish Parliamentary Election? If so, who did you vote for with your constituency vote?<br /><br />4)D4. And who did you vote for with your regional vote? <br /><br />Now to my simpleton mind and solitary brain cell the "second question" the dear professor is calling for WAS provided by one or all of these questions, wasn't it?<br /><br />So in my view, I applaud him for writing about the poll, about the only person who has, but in my view he seems to have missed an opportunity to really get to grips with the FACTS! I think this is borne out by his inability to accept the FOR/AGAINST Independence vote figures which strongly oppose anything that has been put out by the MSM/BBC so far.<br /><br />Arbroath 1320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-19268368587186192652013-08-12T20:35:00.156+01:002013-08-12T20:35:00.156+01:00When even the Guardian can see them for what they ...When even the Guardian can see them for what they are <a href="http://wingsoverscotland.com/quoted-for-truth-28/" rel="nofollow">Quoted for truth #28</a> then Milli/Balls time is coming to an end.cynicalHighlanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06034325908473006163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-63539232557475026202013-08-12T20:09:52.808+01:002013-08-12T20:09:52.808+01:00Tris
