Orraloon Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I really hope that folk are not gullible enough to believe these poll figures. There is no way the SNP are going to get 52% of the vote. This is just opinion polls trying to do what opinion polls do - they are trying to manipulate peoples behaviour. Don't fall for it folks.

This is just opinion polls trying to do what opinion polls do - they are trying to manipulate peoples behaviour. Don't fall for it folks. I agree. There's also the fact that an increased vote overall for the SNP doesn't mean an increased vote in every seat. This isn't proportional.

iainmac1 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 It is nice to see but as most people realise even a high percentage vote overall won't see that level of seats. For example the Liberals will defienetly hold Orkney and Shetland no matter how low they are polling nationally. The SNP could be polling 70% and they would still never take that seat.

Holty Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) For the SNP to get 52% of the vote we would most likely need every one of the 1.6m people who voted Yes to vote SNP, as we know this will never happen. If we can get 1 million people to vote SNP, I believe this is achievable, then we should get closer to 40% of the vote & something like 35-40 seats, I would take that anyday of the week Edited January 21, 2015 by Holty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde1998 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) From Ipsos Mori - so not a major surprise. Looking at the data tables - the SNP should be rounded up to 53%. Edited January 21, 2015 by Clyde1998 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weekevie04 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 A terrific poll, but it's just that. Lots of work to do for the SNP to get anything near that, but still it's great seeing it in the media and R.P McMurphy having no effect according to this. Let's see what happens and agree, if the SNP get anything more than 12 it'll be a historic night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orraloon Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Jim's got his work cut out.... That's only 8% "less likely" than "more likely", which probably means it has made hardly any difference at all. And it's only 1000 people which isn't a representative sample. And opinion polls are pish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's only 1000 people which isn't a representative sample. And opinion polls are pish. It's a poorly worded question imo. I answered that poll and chose 'Makes no difference', because that's the truth. The only variable that would affect whether I vote Labour at the GE is who the SNP candidate is.

In which case his appointment has "done for" Labour. But I'm making that up because that figure could mean anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossy Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 They've been scoffing about SNP finding devolution inadequate, seemingly unaware the Trade Union groups have expressed same concerns. The Trade Unions can f*ck off. They (in greater part) supported the status quo before the referendum by encouraging members to vote No to keep the establishment in power. One week after the 18th September, Unison were marching in Glasgow complaining about inequality in society....conveniently ignoring that they had a golden chance to do something about it (at least in Scotland). Did I say that they can f*ck off ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
