Tartan Eagle Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 You can rest assured we will be way behind on the postal votes. Its normally the over 65s that get them... Yes I agree. However, juggling the numbers after a slow news/no news day, I just wonder IF this late bribe, offered AFTER a significant number of votes were cast, could genuinely impact the final result Hypothetically - if 80,000 had voted by Sunday and half of them voted NO - if half of those (20,000) WOULD have voted for devo-max IF that option been available - if turnout was 80%, those 20,000 postal votes would reoresent 0.6% of t/out or a 0.3% swing - if the final result was 49.7%/50.3%, this late bribe would have made the difference .......and that would be that?

Orraloon Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 They are not offering Devomax though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Tarantula Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Analysis (somewhere or another) has shown that those wanting DevoMax are already voting No by a ratio of 5:1. I think (and I hope) that this new "story" is being played to the wrong people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
