Not so long ago the polls were denounced as despicable crap, and No supporters who took any interest in them were pitied as saddos with nothing else. Now everyone thirsts for new polls as if they were water in a desert.<br /><br />In fact now their ABSENCE is the cause of more paranoid conspiracy: they must be wonderful and are being horribly suppressed. Let's put the record straight. A few of the published polls are commissioned by one side or the other but most are commissioned by news outlets, who wouldn't want to suppress them and waste their money, especially if they had some great new story to tell. For the record I am not going to be hugely surprised if Panelbase produce a good Yes poll at the weekend but by far the most likely scenario for the absence of polls is simply that media outlets wanted to run them after the debate.<br /><br />In fact the debate is much less interesting to me than the question of an overall turn. <br /><br />But I also wanted to correct something I saw on this site from a contributor claiming Rupert Murdoch had told the Leveson committee he was not backing independence. In fact he said nothing of the kind. What he said was that despite his great admiration for Salmond (chillingly the only current UK politician Murdoch is on record as adoring, having turned his back on all the others because of their stance on Leveson ) he was enthused about Scottish independence yet still neutral. But do not be fooled for a moment. That is EXACTLY what Murdoch always says when he wants to extract the maximum impact. from an endorsement. There is good evidence Salmon did a deal with Murdoch and I think he is about to reap his reward. Murdoch is just waiting for the polls to turn. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Expatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-83424440972326997172014-08-28T20:28:02.553+01:002014-08-28T20:28:02.553+01:00Sorry for empty spaces above.Sorry for empty spaces above.cynicalHighlanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06034325908473006163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-34119625081117009022014-08-28T20:26:38.711+01:002014-08-28T20:26:38.711+01:00Official advice!
