shows that the win for the no campaign would have been would have been even bigger if they had followed the usual rules on suffrage. So even Salmonds 'Gerrymandering' wasn't enough to win.

And Sturgen is a ****ing idiot (but the likely replacement).

Social research and polling expert Rachel Ormiston at ScotCen has contacted my colleague Severin Carrell to point out that only 14 people aged 16 and 17 were polled by Lord Ashcroft, a very small sample that makes the 71% yes vote figure quite unreliable, in her view. It’s certainly worth bearing in mind when looking at the figures – and before making judgments about younger v older voters.



I was surprised by the huge Yes vote among the 16-17 as the next cohort (university age students) voted No. It didn't make sense unless one argues there's decisive numbers of English students at Scottish universities that tipped the balance.

But if the Guardian comment is correct, the sample size and thus Ashcroft's entire polling analysis needs to be analysed more closely. No doubt there will be more polling breakdowns and analysis in the next few days to give us a better picture.

Sounds a bit fishy to me. Then again it may be a red herring.

But they have always been codding political sharks.

As SDP leader she would be a ray full of...err...stings...well...never mind. The SDP is certainly between a roach and a hard plaice when it comes to fishing for a new leader and landing the Sturgeon is the most obvious selection even if many outside the party view her as a right ol' tench.
