29th May 2014 Comment The Scottish independence referendum
As doubtless most readers will be aware, tomorrow marks the official start of the campaign for the independence referendum – that is the period during which the amount of money that the two official campaigns, Yes Scotland and Better Together, along with the political parties and anybody else who wants to spend more than £10,000 […]

The declaration of the result of the European Parliament election in Scotland is of interest for two reasons so far as the referendum campaign is concerned.

19th May 2014 Comment The Scottish independence referendum

14th May 2014 Comment The Scottish independence referendum
The latest monthly poll fromTNS BMRB, published today, adds to the impression that, while far from being reversed, the progress made by the Yes side during the winter has not continued apace in the spring. At the same time, however, the poll contains some food for thought for the No side about how voters perceive […]
