I thought it was about time for another poll as it's a while since the last one and polls have changed a bit.
Previous ones were 10/1/12 http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1612752&highlight=referendum and 8/8/13 http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1870764&highlight=referendum
I think there was another one a couple of months ago but I can't find it using the search.
Options on yes, no, don't know and for those able to vote and those not able to vote

If you want my opinion on this, probably not, you are just being a tease. You will vote Yes on 18 September and that has always been the case. By all this equivocation and apparent gradual edging to the Yes camp you are hoping to present it as a considered and rational decision.
Its not necessary, vote how you want and you don't need to justify it to anyone, unless of course you are using the justification as part of your own personal campaign. Now that's a thought isn't it ....................
Stop the pretence, it doesn't suit you.
Of course you'll vote 'yes' to independence. You hate being British.
She is our Queen as well. Reading up a little bit of the history of the UK would make it clear for you.
Being proindependence doe not mean that you hate Britain , why would you think that?
I thought you hated political unions? Or is that only when Johnny Foreigner is involved? Maybe you'd change your anti-EU views if Brussels had the same kind of power over EU member states as Westminster does...
Apparently one can be anti-EU without hating Europeans and Europe, but one cannot be pro Scottish independence without hating Britain. Go figure.
The "you" I referred to was Smudge's Dad, based on his posting style.
How do you claim to know what I hate / don't hate?
Well he has ever struck me as being anti British.
Based on the posts you leave on this public forum - just as you claim to know what smudges dad hates. Unless you're just at it and playing a character here, of course - that, I don't know.
Maybe he isn't. Many of us come across in a way which may not reflect who we really are in life.
Maybe Smudge's Dad isn't anti-British, but he definitely comes across as xenophobic towards the English.
I'm flattered that I'm even noticed to be honest ;-)
You are, of course, totally wrong. However, if you wish to call me a liar then I'll accept it as you going back to your old ways.
Oh, you!
How can I be xenophobic against myself? Born and brought up in Teesside, I only moved to Scotland 4 years ago.
I didn't call you anything I gave you my opinion. The clue was when I started
"If you want my opinion ... "
Cannot say I have ever seen that in his posts.
It is how you come across - to me anyway - and I am not always right.
I have seen it and at times I've felt very sorry for poor old Smudge - who I think is a cat :kitty:
Care to link to one of these posts so we can see what you are talking about?
Me neither - smudges dad is one of the few folk on here that I've always pegged as a genuine undecided in the Scottish referendum debate. He is always polite and questioning, whereas others are quite clearly shills pretending not to know how to vote but letting the mask drop occasionally with discernible thuds!
That would be the black sheep of the forum.
I'm surprised I come across as anti-British - I thought I always supported the British virtues of fair play, equality and acceptance of all, tinged with a healthy dose of pacifism and an intense dislike / contempt of the Conservatives and anyone to the right of them.
