The political awareness, engagement and activity in Scotland that saw the NO vote in Independence Referendum going from having a huge margin to a very narrow one over the space of a few months seems to have disappeared. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will be "voter fatigue" as it's apparently so tiring and hard work having different elections with different systems and having to vote sometimes twice in a year! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was always a little bit overstated. Scottish society undoubtedly became more politically engaged in the run up to 2014, but not to any stratospheric degree, and not always very deeply (and this goes for hardcore nationalists and hardcore regionalists). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure how these things can be gauged, and I know it’s all subjective, but the gap between YES and NO reduced from about 40% at the start of the campaign to about 6% by the vote. Stratospheric? Maybe not, but very significant. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Labour’s poll lead jumped anywhere from 11-15 points in an 8 week campaign last year. I don’t think one side’s increase in support is as important a factor as the general turnout, which was incredible in 2014, in assessing political engagement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antlion Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Gordon Brewer and the detestable Torrance are busy on the BBC telling us that we the Scottish public don’t care a whit about devolution and the effects of Brexit on it. It’s not a constitutional crisis, Torrance said: the Scots just aren’t worrying their pretty little heads at all about this issue. I guess if they keep this narrative up they’re hoping that we will just happily accept the Scotland Act being overturned without a squeak. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antlion Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) Wait - according to the Tory, the desire of the Scottish government to uphold the existing Scotland Act is just “greevy-ance”. Thank f**k for the Green boy attempting to scupper Brewer’s circle-jerk with the Tory and Labour Britnats (both spitting feather and clutching pearls at the hideous thought of the Scottish tail daring to try and wag the English bulldog).
