A marginal swing for either side in Scotland’s proposed independence referendum could decide the outcome “because the polls are so tight”, an expert has said. Mark Diffley said that support for Scotland remaining in the UK was “absolutely in deadlock” with support for independence.
And he said it was unlikely that would change until a referendum campaign begins. The polling expert told BBC Scotland’s The Sunday Show: “Everything will come down to the campaign – how good those campaigns are, how they speak to people, their positivity or negativity, so and so forth.
“That is what will really count. Because the polls are so tight at the moment, if we get into a campaign a marginal swing in either direction will make the different.”
