If you look beyond the media/gov base polls then the picture is a bit different. For instance this has no allegiance to either yes or no, just a poll

Just want to put this up in case anyone missed it, as I thought it was a well written piece by a fellow cyclist and outdoors lover.

Re:
If anybody is in any doubt about what way to vote, there will be a Tory right wing government in power next year with probably UKIP as the LibDems will be deid, aided by the complete incompetence of the Labour Party. Miliband is a joke.
I voted Labour all my life until I voted for the SNP and they got voted in, the Westminster Labour party does not represent me anymore, and Scottish Labour are a bunch of numpties that jist dae whit they're telt.
I'll be voting YES so hopefully we will have control from Edinburgh as Westminster don't give a **** about us.
The promises of more powers (Aye, right) to Edinburgh in the event of a No vote, do they think our heids button up the back?
With a no vote we will have pished away our chance and the new powers will be worth nowt.

Re:
The one thing that has barely been discussed is the chance of an independant Labour government. In the event of a yes vote that only means an independant government to be determined by the voters. Realistically that only means SNP or Labour, but where would we be if SNP are voted out? All the Yes campaign has concentrated on is the situation if SNP remain in power.

Not strictly speaking true Clubby, but as the SNP are the biggest party in the very broad coalition of Yes supporters, and the current Scottish government it is understandable they have been at the head of the debate.
The Labour party has lost its way. Big time. As OCP says, they do not represent the people they are meant to. There is a chance that if we win independence that the Scottish Labour party will re-invigorate itself and become something other than a poor facsimile of the Tory party. But I think that may take time. Currently the Scottish Labour party seems to be completely lacking in talent, certainly at the top of the hierarchy. While the SNP has Salmond, Sturgeon and Swinney, who whether you like them or not you cannot deny are very capable politicians.
The first Government in an independent Scotland will have a lot of work to do. It can be done successfully, but it will need the best we have to do it. An SNP/Green coalition would have the mix of talent, idealism and experience we need IMHO.
