51% of Scots wish for break up of the Union

[PaddyO'Neill]

A CLEAR majority of people in Scotland now back independence, according to an exclusive poll for the Sunday Express.

In the first such result since the SNP came to power – and using Alex Salmond’s preferred referendum question – the Vision Critical survey found 51 per cent would vote ‘Yes’, with 39 per cent against.

If such a dramatic result were repeated in the autumn of 2014, the First Minister would have an absolute mandate to negotiate an end to the Union with England.

Seems to be building by the week. As it has a direct influence on the people of N Ireland I would be interested in others thoughts.

Scottish independence implications for Six Counties:

• Six county students would get into Scottish unis cheap as Scottish students, under EU law!
• Belfast - now with two EU borders - to become a haven for EU cross-border infrastructure funding projects!
• New GFA style cross-border bodies with Scotland!

Does this mean thw new Indepedent Scotland will have a King? Would Kenny Daglish qualify?

I would apply a certain health warning to this 51%...

It's still not a 'clear majority' by any means..

Having said that, despite the typical scaremongering from the usual quaters, I look forward to the day when Scotland grasps National, Social and economic independence....
