    Or we can dismiss it as a load of old tosh and vote for strictly instead which at least has some entertainment value :0))

    A few years ago I rubbished a poll in West Caithness for the same reasons which seemed to reject the development of a major wind farm. Only a small minority of residents took the time to vote and rejection only won by a 10% swing. But the end result is that if one strongly held minority view is the only one that is motivated to go out to vote then that is deemed to be widely held.
    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    Courage to change the things I can,
    And wisdom to know the difference.

    But that was presumably a real vote?

    Do you think this means a 94% yes vote in the referendum?

    I believe that all polls result in visual answers to questions. I do not think for a second that this vote on independence is any more scientific than the vote on the wind farm. What is important is that real public opinion gets the best chance to get across and that is only achieved by more participation.

    Well we can't possibly take part in every poll. Particularly if we don't know about it so what is your point?

    But you do know about this one. What is your point on insisting on commenting on this thread when you have no intention to vote on it?

    It doesn't show the result that you want, the words toys and pram spring to mind! LOL

    I notice that the Yes votes have increased by 18 whereas the No votes have gone up by 3.

    Not quite the Better Together landslide that we were led to believe eh??

    That's where it all starts the casual and degenerate throwing of innocent toys about I'm sure you'll find there's a section that covers their rights. cease and desist orders have been executed and a special team of UN mechano sets are preparing to extract those poor defenceless slinkies :0))
