TA Torr Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Some folk on twitter saying that some polling station if Falkirk has had 100% turnout already? Cant be true? Do the 16/17yr olds in the young offenders get a vote? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armchair Bob Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Read this on Scot Goes Pop: Peter Kellner was adamant on the radio yesterday that it's easier to poll accurately for a high-turnout election than it is for a low-turnout election. Thought the high turnout was going to benefit Yes, so now my arse is knitting buttons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padre Andrew Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Been on polling duty in Craigie, Perth. Turnout about 40% by 2:30 pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auld_Reekie Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I might be a man of science, but there's nobody going to convince me that a sample of around 1000, and built on the voting intentions of a completely different electoral system, has the slightest clue what is going on. The fact they pollsters are within the margin of error is because they dont have a clue. Whether they'll fixed their methodology, or something else, they've sat on the fence and given their mates in the UK a wee boost by erring on their side. The bookies are freaking me out more than the polls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Tarantula Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Hes right to a certain extent. When there is a low turnout, all the polls go completely out the window. However with a high turnout, if 100% of the people they expect to vote actually do so, and the pollsters have got their methodology correct, then the polls will be pretty accurate (by and large). Determining how the folk in castlemilk and easterhouse will vote, however, and how many of them will vote, puts a spanner in the works. The old folks will always get their vote out, that much you can guarantee. However the young, those that dont generally vote, and the poor hold the key to this referendum. If we get high percentages in the schemes, we'll win. Thats why these turnout numbers are so important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bookies are freaking me out more than the polls. Today is off the scale unprecedented. The bookies, the pollsters, the political 'experts', none of them have a scoobie what's going on. Only those who've been on the ground night after night talking to people on their doorsteps are anywhere near having a handle on it. I've done a wee bit myself (need to fly under the radar campaigning wise as us military types are supposed to be apolotical) but from what I've heard from several different areas, we're not just in this, we're winning it. 65% minimum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErsatzThistle Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Sweating pints here, but I'm always minding how a certain former Hearts chairman was on the radio during election night 2007 very confidently predicting a Labour victory. We all know how that turned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
