At the time if we had polled 1000 voters then 550 would have voted no and 450 have voted yes. Since then 80 new voters have joined the register replacing the 80 who have left. Of those older voters who have died 80% will have voted no and 20% yes, ie 65 and 15 voters respectively. Therefore, we may estimate that of a 1000 voters polled now 80 are too young to have voted in 2014, 485 voted no and 435 voted yes. 8%, 48.5% and 43.5% respectively, ie the gap among those who voted has reduced to 5%.Willie Hogghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13669579065168857480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-65753354433430512732020-07-11T23:23:50.888+01:002020-07-11T23:23:50.888+01:00Brits you mean.Brits you mean.Scottish Skierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10584099659760612109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-81914403739033775452020-07-11T23:10:30.100+01:002020-07-11T23:10:30.100+01:00Admirably self-aware, Ms Moir.
