  1. Been saying for the last few years that the recall by infyref weighting was a deliberately ploy by polling companies to deliberately downplay the yes vote.

    Can see no other logical reason for sticking with it for so long.

  2. It's been driving me mad for years now. I scream silently and when I look at myself in the mirror I imagine I am the figure in Edvard Munch's "The Scream". I should sue them.

  3. Makes you wonder why renowned psephologists like John Curtice and others and pro-indy parties like the SNP and Greens have not made more noise about this.

    1. Arguably John Curtice is the most credible commentator.

    1. They're self-funded polls, as far as anyone can tell.

  6. What a thrilling time to be a young SNP member! The energy among party activists is electric right now. Conference was absolutely buzzing – the halls packed, conversations overflowing with ideas and energy. Meeting ministers face to face, chatting about the future of Scotland… it’s genuinely empowering. You feel part of something real, something moving. This isn’t just politics from afar; it’s hands-on, hopeful, and full of possibility. Surrounded by people who care so deeply, makes me prouder than ever to wear SNP colours. The momentum is building, and I can’t wait to see where we take it next.

  7. The SNP need to have a plan for when Burnham calls the next UKGE as a defacto EUref.
