On regional differences, if you look at the full figures, you'll see that the actual number of people questioned is small, over a hundred and less than two for each. For example, I don't think one can really make very much of the +20% for independence counted in the Highlands and Islands compared to the last poll on the topic. As with the election, I suspect the only folk with enough cash to burn on giant gauging of opinion will be the SNP, and obviously, they'll be keeping their internal findings to themselves.Lallands Peat Worrierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238432265194046726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638916042737526171.post-73642091553495196512011-09-07T11:07:30.214+01:002011-09-07T11:07:30.214+01:00Why the confusion?
