>The new poll found 58 per cent of people think Scotland is a worse country now than it was in 2014, while 19 per cent said it is about the same and 7 per cent said they did not know.
>Asked if having an independence referendum in 2014 has had a positive or negative impact on Scotland, 17 per cent said very negative and 24 per cent fairly negative, while 7 per cent said very positive and 14 per cent fairly positive. A further 33 per cent said it had no real impact either way, and 5 per cent said they did not know.
>The poll found 32 per cent think Scotland will be independent within the next ten years, and a further 19 per cent believe it will happen within the next 20 years. A total of 21 per cent do not think Scotland will be independent at any point in the next few decades, while 18 per cent believe independence will never happen and 10 per cent said they did not know.
>Just under half (48 per cent) thought there should be another independence referendum, while 46 per cent said the opposite and 6 per cent did not know. More people (41 per cent) thought the case for independence is weaker now than it was in 2014, than thought it was stronger (37 per cent). [No difference: 19%]
Aye things were better back in the past has been a claim made throughout the decades
Not clear what to do with that. It’s hard to separate out the global stuff that’s been going on these last ten years and arrive at some sort of insight into where a post Yes Indy Scotland would be . Some of the mess (Brexit, Trussenomics…) can be blamed on the Tory right wing but Covid has been a big factor, with ramifications (ie adolescent mental health) still bubbling up. It could be argued that despite all the PPE fraud, Mones millions, etc, the UK responded well to the problem- I think only Israel was quicker to react.
We have also endured the shitiest weather on record up until last week!
But the our politicians are richer
Everywhere is shit since 2014 not just Scotland.
The joys of the no vote and brexit…. The ones that voted for the shit show need to take ownership of it and never vote again, just leave it to the adults next time eh

Absolutely the current setup isn’t working for scotland. Something major needs to change. Instead once the power shifts down south its just going to be more of the same albeit a slightly different version
Well, that’ll teach you for voting “No” and giving Westminster the perfect excuse to ignore and/or punish us for having the audacity to want a say in our own affairs.
17 years of the SNP really worked wonders didn’t it
Scottish people say Scotland gone to shit. Bloody SNP! No! EVERYWHERE is shit!
English people say engkand gone to shit! But everywhere is shit. No bloody TORIES!
