IndyRef – 10 Years On
To mark the 10th anniversary of Scotland’s independence referendum, Opinium conducted a wide-ranging, nationally representative survey across Scotland, exclusively for The Sunday Times.
Our research reveals a tightening of voting intentions on Scottish independence, with the ‘No’ side holding a slim 2-point lead over the ‘Yes’ side. The findings also show that in an ideal world a greater number of Scots prefer to remain in the Union, with more devolution the least divisive solution to the constitutional question.
We explore the driving arguments on both sides—Nationalists pushing to take back control, and Unionists cautioning against uncertainty. But as the views of Scots change over time, our research suggests Unionists may need to present a more positive vision for Scotland’s future within the UK to prevent a Yes win in future.
