SNP falling further behind

Another day, another kick in the gonads for those nasty Nats. A YouGov/Daily Telegraph poll found that 57 per cent would vote against independence, with only 29 per cent in favour. 15 per cent were undecided or would not vote.

Since voters were last asked this question by YouGov in October last year, support for independence has fallen two points, while backing for the Union has increased by four points. Anthony King, professor of government at Essex University, said: "Alex Salmond increasingly resembles a man trying to drag a heavy vehicle out of a ditch. He pulls harder and harder, but the vehicle remains firmly mired in mud.

"The findings show clearly that most Scots regard the idea of a referendum on Scottish independence as an irrelevant bore and that, if any such referendum were held in the near future, it would be overwhelmingly defeated."

Voters are divided over whether a referendum should be held, with 45 per cent agreeing there should be a referendum within the next two or three years "to settle the matter one way or another".
47 per cent said that there should not be a vote "as this would be a distraction from more urgent issues that need tackling".

At long last, the Scottish public are becoming aware of the patronising Nationalist agenda. However one does have to wonder about Scotland and our voting habits. Voting for Labour increased in Glasgow NE, despite the antics of Mick Martin and the dodgy expenses claims.

The old saying about “If a dog wore a red ribbon, it would be elected” certainly appears to be the case in some Glasgow areas. I suppose we will have to wait and see what happens in Livingston now, after Jim Devine is bulleted for his alleged corruption and sex pesting.

We really do deserve better than these egotists and scammers.
