How will you vote? Independence referendum JKB poll

[Ulysses]

The referendum question is:

 

Should Scotland be an independent country?

 

 

How do you intend to vote? This poll will remain open until Friday evening at about 10 pm.

 

We've posted this to test opinions - see the link below for the JKB discussion on the referendum and related issues.

The original intention was to lock this thread to keep debate on the main thread, but that prevents people from voting in the poll.

 

 

Replies or comments posted on this thread will be moved to the main thread, so don't be surprised if you post something here and it then disappears.

 

 

But if you want a short cut to that thread, here it is: http://www.hmfckickb.../page__st__4800

As suggested in the main thread, this poll is better left unstickied so that people can see it.

 

89 members have voted so far.

Oops, should've read the post above

BTTT.

[Ulysses]

153 members have voted so far. Small numbers and not by any means a scientific sample, but a clear lead for the Yes side.

Not a huge response in terms of numbers but interesting stats nonetheless. Expected almost the exact opposite tbh.

I moved some posts to the referendum superthread.

Interesting stats here, but the number voting is lower than in previous JKB polls.

Not sure if this should be posted here bearing in mind the OP but I think folk will just be by-passing the thread due to the similarity in title to the superthread!?

I usually just ignore the mega thread which may be what folk are doing with this one.

That might be the case. Maybe we'll re-title the thread and let it run for a couple more days.

What was the thread title before? I literally only saw this thread today? (As Hughesie says I ignore the indy-bun fight thread).

It started with "Scottish independence referendum", so at a quick glance it looked like the other thread.

Don't go into marketing, Uly.

But I thought it would be an instantly recognisable brand.

Another bump. The change of name has helped get a few more views and votes. We'll let this poll run for another day or two before closing it.

We'll close this on Sunday night.

bump before the close.

First time I've noticed this thread. I unfortunately can't post a vote on my phone.

[Das Root]

Only a few hours to go!

So, if the "No's" can get the "uncertain" (which I'm one) we're still British?

20 short even with all the floating voters by my count. might as well get changing the signs to all read jockos kickback.

 

freedom etc

61% Yes, 39% No, according to those who have made a decision on their vote intentions. I make it 53% Yes, 34% No, 13 % Undecided for those who will be able to vote. Even if every single undecided person voted no, Yes would still win. I don't understand why 'I am unable to vote' was added to the poll, as it's something of a distraction. That result is decisive. Kickback says YES.

[Ortarkod]

What does Yes need to win?

50% + 1 vote.

[Das Root]

Boom! Del Monte Kickback.

50% + 1 vote.

I was thinking 75% for some reason...

Don't worry. I do.

 

And there you have it. We've ended up with a bigger "turnout" than previous JKB polls on the subject, and an outcome showing more than a 60-40 majority in favour of yes from among those expressing a preference. We'll leave this a while, though we do intend to run further polls between now and the date of the referendum.
