Mr Bairn Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I know two English guys that are voting yes and the rest are splt half and half between "I'm not Scottish so I don't give a f**k" and "Praise Jeebus no, I don't want to suddenly be a foreigner" Interestingly the two yes voters are the only two English people I know that actually have/are planning to settle down in Scotland whereas the rest are just students who are planning to move home/abroad once they're finish their degrees. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcor Roar Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I had a yes canvaser come to the door and she was English. Quite tidy too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have their polls showed a Conservative bias, though? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 I was only surprised it was news to you. Guess that's what happens when you live in a unionist bubble. Yeah that must be it... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Check out @C_KAndrews's Tweet: https://twitter.com/C_KAndrews/status/484468749979119616 Yes Dundee. Certainly tallies with my experience 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bairn Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Sounds about right. I think yes need to try and push 60% in Dundee given that no are hoping to be well over that in their strongest areas. I'd fancy most of those DKs will end up breaking for yes, if for no other reason that most local family/friends will be talking up yes arguments in that area 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackIsleBud Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Most English people are voting no. Then again, most Scottish people are voting no too. Not sure if there's much difference between the two, not that it matters anyway. My partner is English. She's a Yes. My ex-wife is English and she's a Yes. My ex-wife's partner is English and guess what? He's a Yes. f**k YouGov and their blatant statistical cherry-picking. I believe in my fellow citizens of Scotland and the majority will vote Yes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Sounds about right. I think yes need to try and push 60% in Dundee given that no are hoping to be well over that in their strongest areas. Yup. No have some really strong strongholds. I hope there is a localised hurricane or something across Dumfries and the Borders on the day of the vote, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrmad Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) Yup. No have some really strong strongholds. I hope there is a localised hurricane or something across Dumfries and the Borders on the day of the vote, Thankfully the number of voters isn't very high down there, we could do with that hurricane in Ayr right enough.

I'm Brian Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Thankfully the number of voters isn't very high down there, we could do with that hurricane in Ayr right enough. They are both bigger populations than south Ayrshire, but don't write off Ayr just yet. It would require a minor miracle to get a yes majority, but it won't be a landslide 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
