What does polling tell us about independence support this year?

A major survey used to gauge the attitudes of people across the UK has found a majority of Scots support leaving the UK – and that the Union “has become decidedly less popular” in Scotland.

The British Social Attitudes poll attempts to discover the prevailing feelings in the UK on a number of topics, Scottish independence among them.

In its most recent incarnation, published on Thursday, 52% of the 1,365 respondents supported independence becoming Scotland’s governing structure, up one percentage point since the last survey in 2019.

The SNP policy on oil exploration is to oppose any new licences and to close down existing oil fields.
You would think that an Oxford Don would know that.

Liz Truss, just before becoming PM, agreed a fantastic trade deal with the USA for Scotch whisky.
I must have missed your posts commenting on that.

That is because you hate Scotland and run her down on every possible occasion.

Most Scots are definitely now yearning for freedom from Tory corruption, but you doff your cap and say

“ please England can we be dominated by sleazy Tories forever?”

Man up and face the truth. Scotland would be far far better off in every way without the slimey Tories robbing us blind, and giving Scottish oil and gas revenues to millionaires in tax bungs.

Agreed. The freedom campaign in Scotland has members from all parties even including the odd Tory.

And the best way to get rid of the SNP, and by far the quickest is for Scotland to get her neck from beneath the sleazy and corrupt Tory jackboot.

And Tory lapdogs like a number on here never said a blind word about the huge and massive Tory sleaze and corruption. Not a thing,

And in any event political corruption is not that much to do with Scotland becoming better off and truly free.

You have this sort of bizarre conflict bula.

One one hand you argue (quite rightly) that the SNP is not Scotland.

Then you seem to think that the cause of Scottish freedom is undermined by slating the SNP all the time.

The behaviour of any SNP politician at any time does not affect the case for Scotland getting her neck from beneath the odious Tory jackboot. The cause is greater far greater than any politician or any party.

Unionists do have a great story to tell. I could make a really strong case for continuation of the Union of Scotland, England and Wales, even including Northern Ireland although the brexit lies have lessened that case.

But I NEVER see the case made. Just childish hacks at SNP personalities, and attacks on Scotland, a wonderful country with unlimited potential for greatness and happiness.

What is not good is this.

The SNP depend for their electoral power on the unresolved constitutional question.

But the power they get they cannot use to affect the constitution.

I think Salmond’s government was good. Nicola’s government in Scotland looks tired.

But there will be no change until Scotland gets her freedom.

Well in fairness the people of Scotland can compare the performance of the Scottish Government with the Westminster Government.

Compared to the Tory corruption, Scotland is well run.

Mind you a pool of fresh diarrhoea would be better at government than the Tories so it’s not saying much.
