Scots would still vote to stay in the UK five years after the independence referendum, according to a poll.
A survey commissioned by pro-UK campaigners Scotland in Union found 59 per cent would vote to “ ” in the UK.
But the result was rubbished by the , which branded the poll of 1003 adults “rigged” because of its wording. It asked: “If there was a vote tomorrow with the question, ‘Should Scotland remain in the ?’, how would you vote?”
SNP deputy leader said: “They are trying to rig the question in a deliberate bid to confuse independence with Brexit.”
Five years ago tomorrow, 55 per cent of voters said No to independence while 45 per cent voted Yes.
Shadow Scottish Secretary Lesley Laird said: “Ever since they found out that they lost, the SNP have been agitating for a re-run.
"That is not what people in Scotland want, and I’m not convinced it’s what Nicola Sturgeon wants – because she knows she would lose again.”
