Independence vote 'not affected by Commonwealth Games'
THE Commonwealth Games has not affected how the majority of Scots are likely to vote in next month’s independence referendum, according to a new poll published yesterday.
More than 80 per cent of those questioned said Glasgow 2014 has made no difference to how they would vote.
Only 12 per cent said Glasgow 2014 has made them more inclined to vote Yes — but four-fifths of that number said they were planning to vote for Scottish independence in the first place.
