A pro-independence majority for the FOURTH Norstat poll in a row - meaning that the SETTLED WILL KLAXON is sounding ever more insistently

I've gone old-school and reverted to audio-only for my commentary on the new Norstat poll, which shows a substantial pro-independence majority (Yes 53%, No 47%) and a commanding SNP lead in Scottish Parliament voting intentions.  I consider the significance of there now seemingly being three polling companies, rather than the previous two, which are consistently showing Yes ahead, and in particular the significance of the fact that this is happening even though Norstat haven't yet abandoned the questionable practice of weighting by 2014 recalled vote (as far as I know).  I also question what the Sunday Times, who commissioned the poll, are playing at with the downright odd way they've presented the results - most notably their burying of the self-evidently newsworthy independence result.

The Scot Goes Pop fundraiser for 2025, launched eight long months ago in January, has been inching closer to its target figure...but can it get there?  Many thanks to everyone who has donated so far.  If you'd like to help Scot Goes Pop stay afloat during this prolonged transitional period while I seek to find out whether video blogging is viable as an alternative funding model, card donations are welcome HERE.    Or, if you prefer, direct donations can be made via PayPal.  My PayPal email address is:  jkellysta@yahoo.co.uk

Another way of helping is by subscribing to my YouTube channel (which I must stress is completely free!).  I need to reach at least 1000 subscribers and I'm currently on 612.

  1. JD Vance says Trump is considering sending Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine which would be quite the turnaround.

  2. I'm pro independence, pro immigration, pro nuclear power and pro EU membership. I'm against Israeli genocide, net zero, EVs and the salmon farming industry.
    Surely, if you agree with me on the first point, the rest are irrelevant (until we are independent,)?

    1. But if you take that logic to an extreme, you end up with the perversity of Liberate Scotland, ie. "It's totally cool to go into an electoral pact with a far-right party because they're pro-independence and nothing else matters".
