A clear majority of people in both England and Scotland are in favour of full independence for Scotland, an ICM opinion poll for The Sunday Telegraph has found. Independence is backed by 52 per cent of Scots while an astonishing 59 per cent of English voters want Scotland to go it alone.
There is also further evidence of rising English nationalism with support for the establishment of an English parliament hitting an historic high of 68 per cent amongst English voters. Almost half – 48 per cent – also want complete independence for England, divorcing itself from Wales and Northern Ireland as well. Scottish voters also back an English breakaway with 58 per cent supporting an English parliament with similar powers to the Scottish one.
***********The poll comes only months before the 300th anniversary of the Act of Union between England and Scotland and will worry all three main political parties. None of them favours Scottish independence, but all have begun internal debates on the future of the constitution.*****************
The ICM poll told a very different story, however, with 60 per cent of English voters complaining that higher levels of public spending per head of the population in Scotland were "unjustified", compared to 28 per cent claiming they were justified. Even among Scots, 36 per cent said the system was unfair, with only 51 per cent supporting it.
Voters also had serious concerns about the so-called West Lothian Question, the ability of Scottish MPs at Westminster to vote on solely English matters while many purely Scottish issues are decided in Edinburgh. Sixty-two per cent of English voters want Scottish MPs stripped of this right and even 46 per cent of Scots agreed. The poll showed that the English are more likely to think of themselves as British than the Scots are. Only 16 per cent of English people said they were "English, not British", compared to 26 per cent of Scots who said they were "Scottish, not British."
In the sporting arena, 70 per cent of English people said they would support a Scottish team playing football or rugby against a nation other than England. But, when the question was put to Scots, only 48 per cent said they would back England with 34 per cent supporting their opponents, no matter which country it was.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree! I don't like what's happening. As far as I can see the media are making out all us Scots want to seperate from Britian so the English people are saying - do what you like we don't care! But only 32% of Scotland want to leave Britain and only 16% of English people want it.

I'm a Scot living in England and I don't think it's right that Scottish MP's should get to vote on English issues and I can't see how having a Scottish PM is going to change that.

My husband and my friends are all English and we tease each other and I don't want that to change. I think as Britain we are a great nation made up of 4 great countries.

i'm Scottish and hate the belief of Scotland being self sufficient. there have been some surveys in our community newspapers those days, asking sixteen & 17 year olds what they think of approximately them balloting. unusually sufficient, assorted the girls say they don't think of sixteen & 17 year olds have sufficient information of what it may all entail and are, oftentimes, not involved in politics and could vote wrongly. assorted the boys have been for balloting and stated that as they have been waiting to get married, connect the army and so on at sixteen they must be waiting to vote - yet some nonetheless stated they did not completely understand what being self sufficient could advise. additionally - IF sixteen & 17 year olds have been allowed to vote approximately this, it may be purely for this on my own. Come yet another wide-unfold election, they'd not be allowed to vote and it may revert returned to 18 and over.

Just hate it when some smart "a-rse" has got nothing better to do but to criticise the asker's spelling/grammar or leaving a letter out or mistake. Keep spitting it out and we love the Scottish apart from back stabbing Brown !
