While searching on the Internet, I found a Mori poll from 2000 which showed that only 23% of Scots supported independence. There seems to be quite a spread in opinions about this. I think devolution may have made it decline.

I checked Mori's on-line archives for Scottish polls in 2000, they covered everything from fox-hunting to section 28 to the NHS and for various clients, but none on Scottish independence are listed.

That figure of 23% is even less than that usually quoted for those voting Labour.

The polls I quoted are genuine and listed on Dr Iain Old's excellent Alba site for all things to do with Scottish politics.

I'm not saying there have been NO independence polls in recent years, but I am unaware of any and they are not listed on Dr Old's site, which is even used as a reference source by Scottish Labour.

There have been regular polls on the Scottish Parliuament which have shown the desire for more power for it rise to over 70% of those polled.

I found a 2003 Mori poll which found support for independence in Scotland at 38% and support for existing devolution at 49%. That only adds up to 87%, the remaining 13% either don't know or won't say.

I don't know where I saw that 2000 Mori poll, perhaps I read it wrongly. But here is the link for the above 2003 poll:

http://www.mori.com/polls/2003/scottishelection.shtml

I would say that this is fairly recent enough. It shows that support for full independence has stayed around the same level for quite a few years. It was around 35% in 1998.

These polls show that a true federation would be a good move.
