It's looking like Salmond has shot himself in the foot with the 16-18 age group. Apparently they don't support him....
The big unknown though, in Scotland, is that in may areas every second Labour household is divided down the middle between Labour and SNP. Labour are still losing votes to them. I'm not sure any 1,000 person poll will show that clearly.
We'll see how it goes in September but I expect the Independence polls to rise for the Yes vote again in the next two months. Even if it doesn't win. After all, the polls said Brown was going to be hammered and what did we get? Some shoddy coalition....
As for electing police commissioners?
Point 1. Every time I say that electing a president instead of having a Monarch who more than pays the way, I get a lot of "so what it will be worth it". When we talk about the police, people say "what a waste of time". We have to have a head of state, I always assumed one who did not interfere in the politics and paid their own way was by far the best way to go...
Point2. Elected Police officials are politicians. Therefore they are statistics driven. There are two ways of driving those statistics. Easy and hard. Easy is just to change the way they report.... Hard simply isn't happening and no elections are going to make it more enticing to do it the hard way.
