Report bobmidd July 30, 2014 10:27 AM BST
Dodgy opinion polls?

MORI are the only one to ask a NatID type Q consistently...

What’s fascinating is that since MORI have been asking NatID, the number of British ID’ing (equally S&B + more B than S + B not S) people in Scotland has been steadily rising, whilst the number of people ID’ing as Scots (S not B + More S than B) has been falling.

We’ve gone from 54 S / 43 B in mid 2012 to 48 S / 49 B in May. Scotland is now more British than ever according to MORI, going both against the census and the SSAS.

Well, it’s really unheard of that people change their national identity on such short timescales, but maybe it’s because No is heading to victory, they have been consistently building up a huge lead and everyone is becoming more British. The census and SSAS are just wrong too.

Except there’s a wee problem with this. They’re becoming more British yet  more supportive of independence  for Scotland according to MORI. For example, the No lead almost halved from 29 to 18 points from May 2013 to May 2014.

There is an alternative explanation that makes more sense. Landline telephone polls have a ~20% response rate now. You don’t have to agree to take the poll which is ‘about the referendum’ (you are told what it’s about before they start and asked whether you wish to proceed – I’ve been polled by them). What would be more plausible is that fewer and fewer Scots (who are much more likely to be Yes) have been agreeing give their views, making the base increasingly British (more No) in nature. At the same time, those more British who have been answering, have been moving to independence.

I wonder what the results would look like if the response rate was better in terms of Scottish NatIDers. Quite possibly very scary for the pro-union side. Yes ahead is perfectly plausible.

There’s evidence it’s happening in online ICM and panelbase too; Scottish respondents falling. We don’t have enough data here, but the consistent over representation people from England with not enough Scots backs things up. Same of course for Yougov.

Do (more No) people from England just like answering polls more? Or is it that shy Yes Scots are just more likely to not answer polls at all. We can be 90% sure shy Yes exists; ICM just gave us the best evidence yet – those who said No then marked themselves as a Yes on the 1-10. Effectively no Yes voters made a similar ‘mistake’.

This may go some way to explain why Yes is ahead from canvassing, yet still a bit behind in polls. It is the nature of the situation; Scotland is about to do something huge, something it is being screamed at for in the most abusive and horrible manner from just about every corner. What do people expect to happen, but for the average person to just keep their head down then quietly tick their box of choice on the day which will bring it all to an end (that’s Yes BTW, as a No just means more years of abuse with Tory rule fringe benefits).

No rational reason to stay in a lopsided corrupt and warmongering union propped up with Scottish oil assets. 300 billion pissed away so far and a very small number of very rich people with anything to show for it. Better together is made up of those with most to lose and those who fall for their lies and are fearful . A shame as most of them will get shafted in the event of a No vote too. It is a shame IMO but I just cant see WM changing at all so in Scotland if you want change this is the only way to get it. I hope in turn we leqd the way for England etc to leave WM too as they really take the piss out of us all. I think a lot of people see past the biased media now in ever increasing numbers. The polls remember said we would vote against devolution.....and also laughed in the face of Alex Salmond being voted in on a landslide last time out.
