Yeah, I'm a fan of independent countries actually being...you know...independent.




Waiting for the heads to explode...

The unionists look set to keep Scotland in the United Kingdom (and by a solid margin) if this latest poll is to be believed. 

It's a "poll of polls" and doesn't count undecided voters. It's also before the Salmond-Darling debate.

Aha.

Salmond would be shouting from the rooftops about this at the tiniest sniff of evidence.

It's part of the September Surprise.

Yougov coming into line a bit today. No lead is down to 6% from 22% in July.

EDIT: 53-47

Urgh, the YouGov poll is the lead story on the BBC News website.

Are they trying to split the country?

I think they're trying to report the news. Which is kind of, you know, their duty.

They needn't be hysterical about it.

So a part of the Union finally and completely splitting off should be reported with what exactly? Yesterday's Cricket results?

Oh come on, there's three lines about it expressing a not that unreasonable viewpoint. Over the next couple of days, its likely that this news will briefly overshadow the current furore over the referendum (and possibly give 'no' a small breathing space).

...I'm saying that the decision to announce by the Royal Family is shameful because we know the motive behind the timing. You know the timing of this stuff is so thoroughly planned and it's no coincidence that it comes just over a week before the vote.

PMQs were cancelled so the Big Three can go to Scotland to campaign? And that's supposed to help the No campaign?

In other news, Prime Ministers Question Time is being suspended tomorrow with the party leaders travelling up to Scotland.

I'm even beating Mr. Scotland/Yes to the punch on breaking news here.  Wink

Who knows? The possibility of a gigantic constitutional clusterfyck is also quite real, of course.

Wow. Even more reason for Scotland to leave this third world-esque circus.

I found out George Galloway is against independence. As if I didn't feel strongly enough about the Yes campaign...

The most recent beheaded journalist was Scottish. He supposedly said he held Cameron responsible for his execution.

K. So therefore Scotland should vote for independence I guess?

I'm not saying that. Just reporting what will inevitably be a story.

I just love how Bill makes it seem like it's killing him to "have" to weigh in on this. He was "reluctant" to speak his mind on this. Mmmhmmm. Roll Eyes

So I heard earlier today that the Better Together campaign actually trumpeted Bill Clinton's statement in favor of No.

Regardless of how you feel on the matter of independence, I think everyone can agree that that's just shockingly pathetic by the No camp.

Attention: Americans (and others, I guess)

BBC World will be broadcasting live coverage of the results beginning at 6 PM ET (11 PM in Scotland) tomorrow and will continue for four hours.
