Polls Show Massive Support For English Independence

Sunday telegraph support shows majority support for both Scottish and English Independence marking a sea change in UK politics.

Proof that the establishment of a devolved Scottish Parliament has changed forever UK politics with independence now inevitable was provided by a new opinion poll published by the Sunday Telegraph.

The poll confirms growing support for Scottish amongst the Scottish electorate with 52% in favour against 38% for the status quo.

However, the poll also shows 59% in favour of Scottish independence amongst voters south of the border. The same poll shows 68% of voters south of the border favour an English parliament with 58% of Scots supporting independence for England.

The poll was welcomed by Annabelle Ewing the SNP's prospective candidate for Falkirk East in next year's Scottish parliamentary elections.

"The poll shows how much out of touch the Labour Party are with public opinion both north and south of the border. The more Blair and Brown bang on about saving the union the more the people of both countries tell them they are not listening.

Scotland is changing and New Labour are being left behind. The fears and smears of the Labour MP's who's careers are more important than the good governance of the Scottish people are no longer registering.

People want to believe that Scots can and will take responsibility for determining our own priorities and looking after the future. The old too poor and too stupid line that has held back our country for too long no longer has any credibility nor win favour with the Scottish people.

The fact the people of England also appear to be rediscovering their national pride is an added nail in the coffin of Union Jack McConnell.

It is the SNP that has tapped into the growing confidence of the Scottish people and it is the SNP and independence that is growing in support and status as we approach next year's poll."
