I for one refused to leave Scotland in search of work in the mass economic exodus of those years; the equivalent of the entire population of Dundee just up and leaving hoping for a better life.<br /><br />I, as a recent graduate at the time, stayed, and tailored my education to ensure I could find work. It was probably the one major thing that made me support indy.

It is an established fact that the reason there was no police response to the M9 crash was due to the person who took the phone call not passing it on.<br /><br /> And the reason for searching so-called children is the same as it ever was. Scum use their wee brothers/sisters to transport drugs or knives until they are needed. Relying on bleeding-heart lefties preventing the police from searching the drug mules.<br /><br /> No sympathy for them..

Granted, more than 1/3 of those undecideds didn't vote at the 2015 WM election, but 34% of Tories, 32% of Labourites and 45% of Liberals are also undecided, which perhaps suggests they'll wait and see who's the strongest unionist challenger. Having said that, of the total undecideds, 50% rate the SG's performance as so-so, compared with 25% who say poor, and 17% who say good.<br /><br />In addition, just 7% of SNP constituency voters are planning to vote Green on the list.

When you consider this, it ties in with SNP sat ratings from other polls of ~70%.<br /><br />You certainly can't class the 'neither good nor poor' as a negative; if someone thought they were doing badly here they'd tick 'poor'.
