Focus groups aren’t that good for ascertaining voter intention, they can give some details behind how some voters think but otherwise they aren’t hugely useful.

So MisTruss won’t only be the PM that saw off the Queen, she’s also going to be the one that breaks up the United Kingdom.

Not on past evidence, the white paper was so economically bad it could have been tory, and the cuts that come with indy will be worse than tory.

Genuinely have no idea why you care so much about it it honestly perplexes me. Like I've seen you going on about it for the best part of a decade on here. I hate them too but I actually live here, surely it has 0 impact on you.

Surely the ideal outcome is for Scotland to vote Labour... 

That used to happen and there are slight signs of a revival. Last couple polls had Labour on 30 odd percent which should be more concentrated than the SNP's 45 ish so that puts a good few central bet seats in contention.
