Brexit could sway Scottish voters towards independence from UK - Deltapoll

Reuters reports the findings from the latest opinion poll on Scotland’s future post-Brexit, conducted by a member of the British Polling Council, Deltapoll.

Key Highlights:

The poll showed that if Britain leaves the EU as planned, 47 percent of Scots would vote for independence at another referendum on Scotland’s future.

That compared to 43 percent who would vote against independence and 10 percent who did not know how they would vote.

If Britain remained inside the EU and a Scottish independence referendum was held, the poll showed opinions were reversed, with 43 percent backing Scottish independence under those circumstances, compared to 47 who were against it.

The poll interviewed 1,022 Scottish voters. The poll was commissioned by Best for Britain, a body campaigning for Britain to keep an open mind on retaining its EU membership.
