Voters claim they are not convinced on Scottish independence
ByThe Courier Reporter
Former Chancellor Alistair Darling said the SNP's case for independence is 'falling apart by the day' after the poll showed 62% of voters remain unconvinced.
More than 60% of people do not think SNP leader Alex Salmond and his party have made a convincing case for independence so far, according to a poll.
Figures released by Better Together, the group campaigning to keep Scotland in the UK, show 62% of people surveyed said the SNP’s case for independence is either “not very convincing” or “not convincing at all”.
More than a fifth of those respondents were people who claimed to have voted for the Nationalists in the Scottish and UK parliamentary elections 24% and 22% respectively.
Better Together leader Alistair Darling said: “The SNP have no answers on basic questions like which currency we would use or who would pay for our pensions.
“Their case is falling apart day by day.”
A spokesman for Yes Scotland said: “The evidence is clear that Scotland would be more prosperous as an independent country with the means and the will to be a fairer country too.
“We will continue to press the positive and optimistic case for an independent Scotland which we firmly believe will win the day on September 18 next year.”
