iainmac1 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I think you are right. Would actually be not bad to get a result a couple of points behind just to keep the pressure on the grassroots to get out there. Not a chance that any Yes campaigners are going to relax now!! I am swamped with work beyond belief just now but off out canvassing at 6.30 tonight anyway and will just have to make it a late one!

Donaldo87 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 My money is it being dead on 50/50 when undecided's are taken out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParisInAKilt Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 A calculated hunch but Yes would achieve a 55+ vote if the poll closed tonight. Remains to be seen if the media and Westminster onslaught will be effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stapes Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Remains to be seen if the media and Westminster onslaught will be effective. It's pretty intense right now andI'm worried that those who have recently come over are soft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hessen Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 It's pretty intense right now andI'm worried that those who have recently come over are soft. The ones who have changed are more than likely intelligent, and have been persuaded by honest arguments and hope, they wont be taken in by 3 public schoolboys spouting political rhetoric and falsehoods. Chin up, stiff upper lip, and all that! Give it a day or two after they have left and it will return to what it was before they headed north to inspect their oilfields.

ParisInAKilt Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 It's pretty intense right now andI'm worried that those who have recently come over are soft. There is a chance it will have the opposite affect. Generally speaking voters have went from no to undecided to yes. There's a chance that all this will only consolate the yes vote and push undecideds to yes as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runningtings Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 It's pretty intense right now andI'm worried that those who have recently come over are soft. I agree, there will be plenty more swings and I worry that some may swing back to No when it comes to the crunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair Bob Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Roden(t) from Daily Mail saying this will be like Black Wednesday for Yes with all the businesses coming out today for YES. So far BUPA , Standard Life (almost) and BP. Trying to think who will be next as all before have form in opposing YES. Reckon we will see BAE coming out, other than that any ones guess, and I dont think it will change many peoples minds. Bupa, standard life and BAe, that would be brilliant. A company that wants NHS privatisation, a bank, and a gun runner all going NAW. As David Hayman said, look who is on the yes side. Look who is on the no side. And choose your side.

Flure Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 "The shared conventional wisdom is that, as polling day approaches, support for change – or usually the Yes vote – will fall away. As the campaigning draws to a close, wavering voters tend to move towards the option they know and feel safer with, and end up voting No. But the Scots appear to be failing to play by these rules. And that has election buffs in a state of some confusion." http://theconversation.com/scotland-vote-appears-to-be-defying-usual-referendum-swing-31490?utm_content=buffer81a4d&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stapes Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 In Quebec that was true Flure, but equally the opposite happened in the devolution vote and Yes gained significantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auld_Reekie Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Some rumours on Twitter Survation have got Yes at 54%. Can't believe that's true. Although it would justify the panic we've seen yesterday and today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Tarantula Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Anyone in particular tweeting this? I think the rumours have put us on somewhere between 1% and 100% Yes so far today ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
