Help Scot Goes Pop run a pre-election poll
Donation protected
Hi, my name is James Kelly, I write the pro-independence Scot Goes Pop blog, and since 2020 I've been regularly commissioning Scottish opinion polls from reputable polling firms affiliated to the British Polling Council. Some of them have been landmark polls, including one that started the unbroken sequence of Yes majorities in 2020-21, and also one that showed the highest ever Yes vote in a Panelbase poll.
As we move into general election year, the time is ripe for a new Scot Goes Pop poll to test whether or not the SNP are heading for defeat, and what can be done to avert that outcome. Does Kate Forbes offer a life raft, either as leader or in a senior position in a unity government? Would abandoning the coalition with the Greens help or make matters worse? Has the SNP's rejection of a credible near-term independence strategy alienated or demotivated their natural support base, and would a change of direction solve that problem? And what is the public's verdict on Alba's plan to stand in at least a dozen seats? Do they approve, and has Ash Regan's defection given the party a polling boost?
How does Scotland move forward to independence and what methods would the public consider either legitimate or illegitimate? That issue in particular is usually only probed by polls commissioned by unionist clients, and the results are thus often skewed by the question wording.
I will ask all of these questions and more, but that will only be possible with your help. Polls are expensive, but if the independence movement doesn't self-fund them, the political agenda will always be set by polls commissioned by our opponents, with predictable results.
