Give me independence or give me sex...

Lie back and think of Scotland.

The "nah" comment refers to your headline that "YES" has a 24% lead.

On reading the detail it looks like "NO" has a 24% lead.

That's much more plausible.

If 'YES' to independence had a 24% lead that would be something!!

RobD

Did a big double take with that title. LOL

Ricardohos

Mike ... er? You've tweeted 'NO' but your thread header has 'YES'. Erm ...

JosiasJessop

Does OGH want to kill off all the posters in favour of independence? They're only used to dark winters, links golf and vampire midges. Their poor hearts cannot take this sort of excitement ...

As another poster might say: NURSE!

Quincel

I see I'm not the only one recovering from a minor heart attack having seen the thread header. No need to go overboard with you Halloween scare Mike!

RobD

The poll data says this survey was from September? Why the delay in publishing I wonder.

Guido has a story which might amuse the tin foil hat brigade. Might win a game of listen in bingo.

I knew that.

TheScreamingEagles

So that's a 4% increase in the lead in a month for no.

When will the separatist surge happen ?

An open secret.

Check the fieldwork dates though, it is already a month old.

Afaics This Yougov was Sep16th, previous was August 22nd- Yes up 3% No down 7% and DKs up 3% in 4 weeks..

I'm not sure what the motive is in releasing data weeks or even months (eg Ashcroft) after question is asked, particularly if they're using the 'if there was a referendum tomorrow' formula.

It's also not new Mike. It was reoported in the Times last month as 20 point gap:

True , No may be 30% ahead now . I fear we may have to put some of our separatist posters on suicide watch if the end result is in this ballpark .

Why is there such a big gender gap?

There are fairly persistent gender gaps in British polling. Women are rather more likely than men to believe in God, to oppose the use of force in international affairs, to favour greater restrictions on abortion, to be Eurosceptic, to be sympathetic to homosexuality, but these all seem to cancel each other out, so that there is no significant gender gap in terms of voting intention.

What makes women so pro-Union, compared to men?

We'll take our lead from Scottish LDs' stiff upper lips as they gaze into the abyss.

I don't have a strong view either way on whether Scotland should go independent, but it seems to me the argument for 'No' has been much more coherent. Several times (ISTM...) the 'Yes' camp has made claims which have dissolved under just a bit of scrutiny - like the stuff about joining the European Union, what currency an independent Scotland would use, and so on.

I'm certainly not opposed to Scotland becoming independent if that's what they want, but the Yes campaign needs to confront the issues and questions raised by the No-ers, rather than trying to sweep them under the carpet.
