Interesting poll hereL

Of course a single poll of 1000 people need not be a true and accurate indication of what will happen in a referendum.



But still interesting.

Unionist labour,
Is there any doubt of the outcome of a poll with the three above involved

I read the article and noted with some hilarity Alastair Darling's contention that Alex Salmond does not speak for the people of Scotland. (Not that he's ever presumed to do so in matters Referendum).

HOW RICH IS THAT THOUGH? In the week Johann Lamont presumed to do just that............hahahahhaaaaaaaaaaaaa ;D ;D ;D

Diddy.
