Some interesting demographic analysis in the press today.

For years we've been told that Scotland is no more "inclusive" or "civic" than the rest of the UK. Well it turns out that while on average there isn't much in it, the detailed stats show the following:

1) Scots polled as Indy/SNP voters are more likely than people in the rest of the UK to be positive about immigration and multiculturalism. 

However,

2) Scots polled as being supportive of "unionist" parties (Labour and Tories specifically being highlighted) are less likely than people in the rest of the UK to be positive about immigration and multiculturalism.

The esteemed Prof. Sir John Curtice (as so loved by Unionists any time his psephologist skillset allowed him to make a point that sounded bad for the Yes campaign) explained it on Radio Scotland this morning.  He went as far as to describe it as unusually civic nationalism in Scotland.

So the upshot is: if it wasn't for the less tolerant, and in some cases xenophobic, unionists, Scotland would be a more tolerant place.

I'm sure everyone else is as shocked by this as I am.

Have a source for this, it sounds plausible but also rife for statistical skullduggery. Point 2, of course a subset of folk away from the average are going to be away from the average of the entire set.
