Still a terrible idea, no matter what any poll says.

The family and those I talk to in Scotland.
Most would now support independence.

However, polls can be misleading.
There's little doubt if the SNP do as well as last time or better in the Holyrood elections next year.

Then the Westminster government has problems to not permitting a new referendum, no matter what this Prime Minister Huff's and puffs now.

The recent polling over a rather long period now have shown a move to majority support for independence.

This poll however, with the increased figure is one I'd have a bit of sceptism to.
I don't like telephone polls which I believe this was.
Also the sample I believe was just over 1000 people.

There's no doubt now I'd say myself that there is even more dismay in many as to being fully ruled or overruled by Westminster.
Which I think this pandemic, the leaving the EU, plus the fact the UK is stuck with this hard-line Con majority government for another 4 years at least.
That dismay will only increase.

The Cons look to be doing a little better on paper in Scotland.
Unwise for them to think that in my view.

The old Labour votes are piled into the SNP as both firmer and also loaned votes now.

I still myself, much to the dismay of some of those I know in Scotland.
I'm half Scots, my Father was Scottish and my Mother Irish.
I still myself however rate the leadership of Nicola Sturgeon.
Her compassion in this pandemic too.
I doubt, obviously don't know, I doubt however she'll do much wrong to take support away from her and if she goes on the independence road again, getting stronger support again next year.

Then really, the Westminster governing party has a massive constitutional issues there if it denies the will of voters in Scotland.

Ahh as someone who voted for independence and would likely do so again, I have to say that now is definitely not the time. The EU situation is extremely volatile and I'm not entirely convinced it'll hold. I think Scotland is better off out of the UK anyway, but the time to be sorting all of that out is when things are much more settled. I'm still not totally adverse to the idea of devo-max but that's just never going to be on the table under the Tories, and if anything they're probably going to try to chip away at the devolved powers that exist currently.

He's not an immortal being arista, he won't be PM forever and to be honest I doubt he'll even stick with the job until the next GE, he'll decide he's had enough in a couple of years and step down.

Scotland deserves better than what they're getting with us, if the people are demanding another vote, give it to them, it's the democratic thing to do.

Can't see anything happening for a least another year, a lot can change in that time, so yeah i agree with the poll being pretty meaningless.
