Davi3j Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Hold on a minute. Is this how the question was asked? Please tell me it wasn't?

Should Scotland be an independent country? whit??? well thats not leading anywhere is it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And cue the deflection squad! I thought this poll asked the exact question? Ad Lib, you keep people honest, would you say that if the above is how the question was phrased, then the herald and the entire unionist squad have been at it?

barrysnotter Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 so you think our politicians can only deal with one issue at a time??? if thats the case we're all fucked then... besides, is that not one of the reasons there are separate YES / NO campaigns? That isn't what I said. Do try and read it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colkitto Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Here is all the data from the poll https://www.dropbox.com/s/4wn0eaiasix78gd/presentation%20for%20sunday%20briefing%20FINAL.pdf Talk about leading questions! And they have the fucking audacity to attack Panelbase! Dirty sneaky lowdown snake in the grass b*****ds! I knew there was something dodgy about this poll. Fekin knew it!

xbl Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I'll tell you when the data is published. It just seems really evasive. Sure enough, a huge leading question. I look forward to HB acknowledging that my instincts were right, once again. Should Scotland be an independent country IS the question. It is, and it is not what was asked in the poll.

It is, and it is not what was asked in the poll. Based on Westminster voting intentions? Why? If there was a referendum tomorrow (well there isn't so why ask that?) "Leaving the United Kingdom" fek me! Why not just ask the referendum question? Not leading enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbl Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 They are hiding something. The scotsman article is full of gloss and dodging, and the law squad are on full lie and deflect mode. When the data is released, I predict that the unionists will forget this poll existed. It isn't anywhere yet that I can see. Interesting that... Panic not Yes camp.. the Herald assists... Back to the bat cave for the next spin of the 'Wheel of Dubiety' http://www.heraldscotland.com/mobile/politics/referendum-news/record-poll-low-for-yes-vote.22029825 Oops. You believed the press again. You got it wrong. Again. I look forward to your disappearing act tomorrow, because there seems to be a lot missing from the articles on this poll. I wonder if this will actually be the first ever time that YouGov have asked the referendum question. I think it was probably agreed for some consistency that all pollsters would use the 'real' question once it was finalised. Certainly all of them this year have They have?

"Leaving the United Kingdom" fek me! Why not just ask the referendum question? Not leading enough? That's what the referendum is about. They have given a preamble to set the context to get a snapshot of current opinion, then asked for a response to the actual question. They even say "and if this was the question" in the preamble. It is not leading in any way whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
