Support For Scottish Independence

EDM number 611 in 2007-08, proposed by Pete Wishart on 17/12/2007.
Categorised under the topics of Elections and Scottish Parliament.

That this House welcomes the recent TNS/System Three poll which shows that support for Scottish independence has surged to 40 per cent., up from 35 per cent. within the last four months, while the number who oppose independence has fallen to 44 per cent. from 50 per cent.; notes that this strong improvement in polling support reflects the impressive record and ratings of the SNP Scottish Government; and highlights the success of the Scottish Government's National Conversation which is leading the constitutional debate on the future of Scotland.

This motion has been signed by a total of 7 MPs.
