Three polls out today and remarkably uniform – 48 percent YES and 52 percent NO. Reports of 5 percent still undecided. The postal vote return is very high, around 90 percent. Another poll shows 41 percent YES and 44 percent NO with 8 percent undecided so it could go down to the wire. Exciting stuff – at least the Scots are getting a vote. And it’s a good deal either way. Even a NO vote will bring greater devolved powers to the Scottish parliament – anecdotal evidence is pointing to an ever greater appetite by Scots (in Scotland) to have increased powers over their own future, revenue raising and expenditure Go Scotland!.
