100 days of campaigning left until Scotland referendum
There are now 100 days of campaigning left until Scotland goes to the polls to decide if it wants to become an independent sovereign nation, or remain part of the UK.
One-fifth of English voters 'back Scottish independence'
A little over one-fifth of English voters think Scotland should become an independent nation, a survey has found.
According to the NatCen Social Research social attitudes survey:
- Some 21% believe Scotland should go its own way, the latest British social attitudes survey found.
- This was a 5% fall from the 26% who supported independence back in 2011.
- Almost half of people in the UK want Scotland to remain in the union, while a further 18% think it should stay and ditch its Parliament in Holyrood.
