The end of the union

It needs to be drilled into peoples head that a vote for independence isn't a vote for the SNP. I have expressed my own feelings on the SNP and Sturgeon over the last few months, having quit my membership, and yet when I tell people I support independence, I get questions like "I thought you weren't a member of the SNP anymore". Its true, I'm not, I'm a member of the Scottish Greens, but I will always continue to support independence. Why do the two have to go hand in hand and why cant people accept that they don't?

I personally cant stand Sturgeon, I have never ever taken to her and is the main reason why I quit my membership. I don't even particularly like her approach to indeyref2, but to meet my own agenda's I will back her on it because I want Scotland to be independent. If independence ever happened, then I would fully expect a general election to decide who runs the country and I would imagine support for the SNP would subside.

This with bells on.

SKY News poll of 2,000 people after Sturgeon's announcement:

Nicola Sturgeon: good 42%, bad 54% -12
Ruth Davidson: good 53%, bad 36% +17
Kezia Dugdale: good 36%, bad 50% -14
Theresa May: good 48%, bad 47% +1
Jeremy Corbyn: good 16%, bad 77% -61

How bad a job is Sturgeon doing in Scotland that she is making the Tories hit positive ratings? Even Theresa May is more popular in Scotland than Sturgeon. Where did it all go wrong?

Most of whom live in England and get force fed #snpbad and "anti-english" for their breakfast

I am not sure whether you are taking the piss or you really believe that this poll is bias.

So, just for clarification, Sky use external polling companies that are signed up members of the British Polling Council. Their polls and their methods are scrutinised by that body. The head of that body is Professor Curtice from Strathclyde Uni (the guy who appears on the BBC all the time). One interesting aspect of this poll is that it was with 2,000 people. Normally to be statistically relevant you need at least 1,000 people. The more people in a poll the more accurate the poll as the margin of error is reduced.

This poll also confirms other polls in the last 6 months showing Davidson more popular than Sturgeon.

However, if you were just taking the piss... Good een!
