Tories report five carpark doggers on signs too small to read, all party members! Ross Thomson sent his apologies
They’re sub-polls so there are limitations but in the absence of anyone prepared to do a larger Scottish poll, we can reasonably show a little interest and take a little conditional pleasure in three early February polls showing the SNP at 40% or above in Westminster voting intentions. Both the SNP and Tories seem unaffected by the ‘civil wars’ or sex claims. but Labour seem in terminal decline. Come on Richard, at least wink at Jackie Ballie!
An Opinium poll with a sample of 169 and field work on 13-15th February, found:
Conservative 24%
Labour 18%
SNP 40%

Before that, YouGov with a sample of 159 and field work on 3-4th February 2019, found
Conservative 22%
Labour 21%
SNP 41%
And an Ipsos MORI with a sample of 93 and field work on 1-5th February, found:
Conservative 14%
Labour 29%
SNP 44%

I fear the Tories may take this too seriously and just go for it.
Talking-up Scotland 
Whit? Nothing on Wee Wullie and the Dumbs?
I demand a recount.
And a postal ballot.
Maybe throw some chicken bones and——beware the Ides.
But we don’t need to read the entrails to know the Dumbs under Rennie are sinking fast. Jo Swinson is also losing ground in the party, where she was once a shoo-in.
While Jo is on my mind, would it not be interesting to have an interview between “Estuary English” Gordon Brewer and “Jockney” Jo?
‘Course we would need subtitles to work what they were saying.

Something in passing.
Have the Scottish Tories shown the exact same party political on the last three occasions?
I don’t watch party ads, but it seems the same intro, with three Scottish accented people (when the bulk of their Scottish party has Anglicised speech) to the fore.

I hope RevStu gets on with his polling and makes it a big Scottish sample, the variation between 160 and 93 sub samples seems a bit suspicious.
John, I want your opinion, not on the content of my list for a ‘plan’ I put in the comments here:
https://thoughtcontrolscotland.com/2019/02/16/is-the-snp-really-not-doing-enough-or-is-that-just-media-neglect/#comments
But on whether you think that producing a document that sets out procedure and timing for negotiation and implementation would give people a better sense of security than a document listing the details of what could be (e.g. The White Paper used last time by the SNP.)?
I feel better about knowing what is going to happen when and how it will be done, but I’m a bit of a weirdo, so need to understand if other people would view it as unnecessary, pointless, useful, or give that greater sense of security – have you any insights? Mainly thinking about the ‘undecideds’.

I reckon a list of items that would be needed to move from a vote to independence would be very useful for all, dedicated lessors and undecided alike. Of course dates would have to be approximate but a description of the process and stages would definitely make it easier to argue the case.

That car park photo looks like it was taken by a passing tourist thinking the 5 are an item, and are looking for a full length panoramic souvenir
