It not too much of a leap as I'm sure we have been referred to as the FUKRS north of the border for quite some time anyway?
Hume wrote:Tom, i'm not sure what prompted your poll but it may well have been reports in the last couple of days that the question, as proposed by the SNP i.e. Do you agree that Scotland should become and independent country? (or very similar) is unfair / loaded / misleading.
I happen to agree with those findings, and thought so from the beginning.
The word 'agree' should not appear in the question as it is putting forward the notion that it should - which is of course the debate.
The question should however refer to the proposed new position, rather than keeping the current one and should be along the lines of:
Do you think Scotland should become an independent country?
Do you believe Scotland should become an independent country?
Do you want Scotland to become an independent country?
