Dear All
Yes Scotland is seen as an SNP front by
Scots, it is full of Team Sturgeon and Team Salmond cronies, to pad out the
numbers, the independence campaign has some Greens on their staff.
Awhile ago I described the organization headed
by Blair Jenkins as a crony ridden pit, and if you read the blog regularly you
will also have read I say that there is a genuine lack of telnet in the
Scottish National Party.
Scottish independence has collapsed,
despite their own belief in how ‘clever’ they are, in the big world, they are
small fish in a small pond.
The latest PR disaster to hit the mortally
wounded campaign run by Scotland’s unpopular Deputy First Minster Nicola
Sturgeon is one regarding trust.
YES Scotland is under pressure to publish
the results of polling research claiming support for independence is rising
among women, 16 to 24-year-olds and parents with young children. I find that
hard to believe given the polls show a continual collapse of support for
independence with Nicola Sturgeon at the helm.
Seizing on the lack of transparency, the pro-Union
Better Together campaign says rules governing polling state the full results
must be published.
Why can’t Scots know the truth?
This is a question which should be asked of
Yes Scotland, if you are making claims then you must be open to have your data
available for scrutiny.
The Yes Campaign insisted the rules did not
govern internal research findings. If they had not published the data, then
that could be a valid point, but they went public.
Better Together campaign director Blair
McDougall said:
"This looks like a rookie campaigning
error but it has serious consequences for Yes Scotland. The rules are clear: if
you publish results from your private polling you must publish the full
results. You cannot make some polling results public, but then claim it is
private."
This doubt regarding trust will hang over
Yes Scotland until someone ‘comes clean’, to an outsider it looks like
deception.
The Yes campaign's internal polling
research, reported in press says there was now a majority in favour of
independence among 16-24 year-olds.
This seems to be completely at odds with
recent public polling which put the percentage of this group in favour of a Yes
vote at only 21%.
Has something happened to justify a massive
increase in support?
No, there is no increase in support, so Yes
Scotland must publish their full results.
As well as failing to win the youth vote, claims
of majority support for independence among families with young children of a
shift is equally questioned. The TV programmes from the female perspective on
Scottish independence hasn’t gone well for the Nationalist camp.
Female "don't know" respondents aren’t
moving towards a Yes vote, because the feedback of polls shows that not enough
information has been made available.
Mr. McDougall added:
While every public opinion poll has shown
support for separation falling since the launch of Yes Scotland, the
Nationalists claim they have a poll that shows the opposite. Let's see it. The
regulations say that if Yes Scotland's pollster is a member of the British
Polling Council they must now publish their full tables”.
Support for Scottish independence has totally
collapsed, Alex Salmond and Nicola Sturgeon aren’t able to turn this around,
now we have a rogue poll coming from Yes Scotland who aren’t being transparent
and open with the public.
The Scottish National Party leadershuip
have a track record of making claims which upon inspection turn out to be false.
Yes Scotland is seen as an SNP front, it is
staffed by the SNP, run by the SNP and funded by the SNP.
So much for an open, honest and transparent
debate coming from the Nationalist camp!
The story is not the results, it is the PR
disaster and cover up, I said a genuine lack of talent and guess what?
George Laird right again!
Yours sincerely
