46% of Scots want to separate from the UK; 43% want to remain
by Cory Doctorow from on (#4MNB7)
An Lord Ashcroft Poll for Holyrood found that the largest group of Scots with a preference favour independence from the UK: 46% leave vs 43% remain; after removing undecided voters, the figures are 52%-48%.
The Scottish Conservatives are adamant that there is no appetite for a Scottish independence referendum; the other major UK-wide parties are also officially opposed another referendum.
The majority of poll subjects were in favor of a referendum in 2021.
