Support for independence dropping even further, down to 28%. Will only get worse for Salmond when the courts force him to stop hiding information.

Cue a chorus from VP and ED decrying polls and the biased rag that printed it. As usual. smile
I'm not decrying that. I show a passing interest in the polls but that's it. Views are largely irellevant until information is published and campaigns start. And although The Scotsman isn't in favour of independenc it's still a decent read.

Quite disappointed in people who waste time and energy worrying about how to organise and independent Scotland. You'd be as well organising a Martian government.

Bill Hill's offer 7/1 for independence by 2020. Classic case of 'put a fiver on, and you'll get 0 back'.
Well lets see if anyone from the YES side is brave enough to put their money where their mouth is?

Individually polls mean little, the trend many show however, is unwise to ignore.

The steady reduction in support for independence is not because independence is inherently bad for Scotland, it is because of the way the SNP rides rough shod over facts and the electorate. Mark my words, it is the SNP that will cost Scotland independence, nothing else.

I don't deny that's a contributing factor but I think the year of 'Britishness' must also impact the general view.

Seriously? I'm pretty sure NZ have a strict immigration policy. Not sure they'll welcome a gun-toting drink driver with open arms wink

They may well come out with a fairly major announcement closer to the referendum. With any luck.

By which time it will be too late

But if you belive the YES vote will win lets see you put your money where your mouth is

odds are currently 7 to 1

invest £100 and you will get £700 back

I've got money on the NO vote and the odd were way worse

No, if you invest £100 at 7/1 you'd get £800 back as the stake is added to returns.
