There is an ever growing list of groups supporting a Yes vote in the referendum on September 18th. We have NHS for Yes, Farming4Yes, Women for Independence, Labour for Independence, Lawyers for Yes and lots, lots more.
Our undercover Yes Mole at the heart of the UK Government has told us their next booklet is being sent out by Royal Mail from Monday August 4th onwards.
To return to our nautical theme it would seem the No campaign scaremongering on shipbuilding has just been blown out of the water.
The .scot top level domain will be available from noon today (July 15th 2014). The TLD will be available from all good registrars.
We were looking around on the website of the polling organisation Survation when we came across a little curiosity of a poll commissioned by the Huffington Post and published on June 11th.
This latest poll commissioned by the Sunday Herald and conducted by Panelbase has No on 52% and Yes on 48%. This poll would seem to confirm the continuing move from No to Yes. Could we see parity or perhaps even a Yes lead before the end of the month? If we did it might be quickly followed by other newspapers changing their stance and even some major political defections.
Today, June 10th 2014, the new top level domain (TLD) ".uk" becomes available. Hmmm, is that good timing?
As part of the media storm around Matthew Oakeshott's resignation from the Liberal Democrats it has transpired that he conducted polling research into Danny Alexander's Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey seat. The results of this LibDem internal poll have been leaked and it shows the SNP taking the seat on 32% and Alexander for the LibDems on just 16%.
Opinion polls had suggested that the SNP could take a third EU Parliament seat due to a drop in LibDem support. The Scottish Greens had also hoped that they might supplant the LibDems. However, extensive UK wide media coverage for UKIP seems to have boosted their profile and handed them their first Scottish seat and only electoral success of any kind in Scotland.
