New poll equals record high in support for Scottish Independence

A new poll published today (17th December) by Savanta ComRes for the Scottish newspaper The Scotsman has revealed that support for an independent Scotland has equalled its record level of 58 per cent. This is also the 17th poll in a row showing a majority of Scottish voters would vote Yes to independence. In addition to the poll showing a consistent desire for Scottish independence there is also a boost in support for the Scottish National Party (SNP). 

The poll points to the SNP winning a commanding majority in next year’s Scottish Parliament election in May 2021. It suggests that they could win every constituency seat bar one. The poll also shows increased support for the pro-independence Scottish Greens. The distinct possibility of the SNP having a commanding single party majority in the next Scottish Parliament is very significant. As it will conclusively have a clear mandate for a new independence referendum. Making the United Kingdom government's attempts to deny the democratic right of the Scottish people to hold a referendum on independence utterly unsustainable.
