A substantial shift is certainly possible, although one data point is not sufficient to demonstrate that any shift would necessarily be in favour of the Yes side.
I don't think it's likely, though. The fundamental flaws of the Yes case are just so enormous; concerns over job losses, the currency, the EU, pensions, the financial services sector, and all those other important questions which seem to have come as a complete surprise to Alex Salmond, are not going to go away.0 -
An election electing a government/parliament is a totally different kettle of fish to a referendum on Independence .
The choice is so clear and stark that most minds have been made up months if not years ago and will not change bar some unforeseen major event .
Yes has been toast for months and will remain so in the next 3 months .0 -

And in other news a Scottish Labour candidate (who I think is female but also appears to have a moustache, probably in fulfilment of some quota or other) has quit after misbehaving.
http://www.scotsman.com/news/politics/top-stories/labour-candidate-resigns-over-hitler-youth-tweet-1-3462378
In a earlier FB (I think) conversation dug up on Wings, the Angus Labour lady got a wee bit aerated about foreign residents having a vote in the referendum when "born" [but, I assume, non-resident] "Scots with Scottish property and interests do not". Never thought I'd see a Labour activist apparently favouring the return of the property qualification for voting!!dyedwoolie said:
Voting proportionate to property owned would seem a fair solution to this gerrymandering. One vote for the block of flats, one vote for the townhouse.SouthamObserver said:
I'd love to see a constituency map as I am struggling to work out how any part of Gospel Oak gets into H&WG. But on the basis that it does, I am not sure that London behaves entirely the same way as other parts of the country in terms of property price and voting correlation. I also think that sometimes it's easy to forget the extent of the council estates that exist even in the most affluent areas. Chalk Farm, Gospel Oak, Highgate and even EdM's Dartmouth Park are prime examples. A five bedroomed, £3 million town house might equate to two Tory voters. A small block of council flats essentially taking up the same space might give you 10 Labour voters. You could find both on the same block.rcs1000 said:
The nicer part of Gospel Oak is part of the constituency! As Camden, Belsize Park, Chalk Farm, Shoreditch, Clapham, etc have become more expensive, it's become one of the classic places for 'first job post University' students to move to. While these are probably more left-leaning than 40 year old hedge fund managers in Highgate, they are less left-leaning than the people they are displacing.SouthamObserver said:Agreed on Highgate. Highgate New Town, which is solidly Labour, is not part of H&WG. I don't think Gospel Oak is part of the constituency, but that is most definitely Labour as well - there is a huge council estate slap bang in the middle of it.
And thank you to OGH for highlighting this issue of Yougov weighting - I'll be interested to see whether any of the other pollsters respond.0 -

OK, Smarmy. You have earned a stay of execution.Smarmeron said:@AveryLP
"The government is exploring emergency measures to kick-start house-building, amid an expected decrease in new build this year, BBC Newsnight has learned."
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-28114463
Dwelling starts for England only from 2010 to end of last fiscal year are:DCLG [LiveTable208.xlsx]
All recent indicators (e.g. today's Markit Construction PMI) are suggesting Private Sector residential building construction is accelerating. It should be noted that of the 133,650 starts last year over 81% were private enterprise builds.
Total Permanent Dwellings Started
(All Dwellings - Private, Housing
Association & Local Authority)
=================================
England
---------------------------------
2010-11 111,150
2011-12 109,570
2012-13 R 101,670
2013-14 P 133,650
Residential construction remained the best performing area of activity during June. The latest rise in housing activity was the steepest since January.
The outlook over a twelve month timescale also looks strong:
Volumes of new work received by UK construction companies increased sharply in June and at the fastest pace since January.
I don't doubt the existence of an internal DCLG document nor that the BBC have got hold of a copy. What I question is the 4% shortfall projection and, even in the unlikely event that it were it true, its political significance.
I suspect it is no more than a mid-summer jolly boating weather exhortation to:
Swing swing together,
With your bodies between your knees
The problem with housebuilding doesn't lie in the private sector which is building at record levels when measured as a proportion to housing sales transactions and will continue to increase output as liquidity and volume in the housing market fully recovers.
The problem is in finding a business model and source of finance for housing association and local authority builds of 'low cost' dwellings.
The Coalition has built more Local Authority dwellings in its first four years than Labour did in its 13 years of government between 1997-2010 and average annual Housing Association builds are also higher (21k vs 19k), but the numbers for both governments fall far short of long term need.0 -

I bow to your filmic expertise in general, but in this very specific instance a little checking does tend to confirm my memory that Blind Harry was at least one of the sources, including the testimony of the scriptwriter himself (not the director, or so it seems).

Cameron set up Juncker as "undesirable" with little or no evidence, purely so that he could have a fight, which he knew he'd lose, and thus portray himself as the "hero" battling against the massed baddies of Brussels.There was no principle involved, only a desire by Cameron to be seen as "doing something" about Europe in a pathetic attempt to get the Kippers back into the Tory fold!0 -
The ONS released its Economic Review this morning, which often provides interesting commentary based on a full range of the previous month's individual bulletins.
I highlight just one of its key points for the month, on the housing market:
Average UK house prices in April 2014 were around 6.5% above their pre-downturn peak, although much of this increase is concentrated in London. However, despite this recent rise, households continued to deleverage in Q1 2014. The stock of long term loans as a percentage of gross households’ disposable income has fallen from 133% in 2008 to 118% at the start of 2014.
It was rapid expansion and poor risk management in mortgage lending combined with rampant house price inflation in the early noughties which broke Gordon's promise of "no boom or bust".
One without the other is much less dangerous, and, with recent indicators that heat is being taken out of current house price inflation, the prospects for an extended period of low bank rate have increased.
It is Carney's policy to dampen house price rises through public warning, bank regulation and financial risk management leaving him free to use monetary policy solely to maintain low inflation, encourage high employment and support broader economic growth.
So far he is succeeding.0 -

We were talking about Wales earlier, this piece of news will no doubt add to Labour's vote share:
"Around 400 jobs are to go at the Tata steelmaking plant in Port Talbot, the company has announced."
Why?
"The company spends £60m on electricity in Wales alone, and pays about 40% more for the electricity than competitors in continental Europe."
Good old Miliband's energy policy. Still we can hold our head up high in the international community and be proud that we are leading the way in saving the planet. Those 400 families will I am sure be grateful for being given the place of honour in the forefront of our battle against climate change. Life on the dole in South Wales will be warmed by the pride of the sacrifice they have made.
No spokesman for other European steel makers were available for comment mainly becuase they couldn't speak for laughing.0 -

Cameron set up Juncker as "undesirable" with little or no evidence, purely so that he could have a fight, which he knew he'd lose, and thus portray himself as the "hero" battling against the massed baddies of Brussels.There was no principle involved, only a desire by Cameron to be seen as "doing something" about Europe in a pathetic attempt to get the Kippers back into the Tory fold!

Sorry to hear Murray went out today, but his relatively early exit, coupled with England's in the World Cup, could be the best thing for the Union, ensuring no breakout of English or Scottish nationalism. There is also still the US Open, which he won before Wimbledon and would have less impact. Interestingly, his best performance this year was at the French Open, supposedly his weakest surface where he made the semis, in the other grand slam in Australia he also went out in the quarters0

Evening all
For me, this is far and away the most significant event of the day:
http://www.communitycare.co.uk/2014/07/01/getting-point-funding-unsustainable-want-meet-need-appropriately-adass-chief/
The consequences for Council adult social care from the Supreme Court ruling on Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) are and have been considerable. Whether we like it or not, the demands in the field of adult social care are increasing and even though the demographic time bomb of an elderly population has been recognised for thirty years, successive Governments have failed miserably to prepare.
One of the biggest national disgraces is our chronic inability to provide enough of our elderly with an adequate and dignified standard of life. At least this Government is starting to make people see the necessity for adequate and proper financial planning for retirement but it's too little and arguably too late.0 -

industrial sectors that use the most electricity according to that link
1) "The largest industrial sector consumer of delivered energy is the chemical industry"
2) "The second-largest user of energy in the world industrial sector is the iron and steel industry"
3) "The third-largest energy-consuming industry is nonmetallic minerals, which includes cement, glass, brick, and ceramics"
4) "Pulp and paper production"
5) "Production of nonferrous metals, which include aluminum, copper, lead, and zinc"
so i assume these will be the sectors wiped out by wind power?
It'd be funny if the recycled paper industry closes down over green leccy prices.

On topic, I think the problem is that a simple yes/no question doesn't do enough to find out how many votes are still up for grabs. The question I would ask would be something like this:
Which of the following best describes how you will vote in the independence referendum?
Certain to vote for independence
Likely to vote for independence
Likely to vote to remain in the UK
Certain to vote to remain in the UK
Undecided/uncertain which way to vote
Will not vote
This would allow us to see how solid the vote is for each side and how many persuadable voters are still out there.

All four products are essential in housebuilding, which HMG is desperately trying to encourage. A plan to encourage the products use whilst at the same time driving their production off-shore, to the detriment of jobs, balance of trade and the nations wealth whilst doing nothing about saving the planet (well, actually increasing the dreaded emissions), must be the most egregious example of government stupidity since the Crimean War.
