NOW CLOSED Do you live in Scotland? Complete a survey about the Scottish Referendum - £50 voucher prize draw

[MichelleMumsnet]

Hi everyone,

We're working with a national newspaper to find out what MNers who live in Scotland think about the referendum which is coming up in September.

This survey is open to all Mumsnetters living in Scotland.

If you're interested, please complete the survey here.

Everyone who completes the survey will be entered into a prize draw to win a £50 John Lewis voucher.

Thanks!

MNHQ

Is the national newspaper staying anonymous or are you going to tell us who we are giving our views to?

[FromGirders]

Um, you've described Alastair Darling as the leader of the yes campaign. You might want to change that . . .

[StoorieHoose]

Survey complete although I am unsure of what difference the leaders attractiveness makes to the campaign

[RawCoconutMacaroon]

I'm sure Alistair will be most surprised!

To whom are our views being sold?

[WildThong]

Done. Will be interesting to find out which newspaper.

[ItsAllGoingToBeFine]

Um "keep the pound" of course we can keep using the pound! Does the survey questioner no mean currency union?

[mawbroon]

Done

[TheScottishPlay]

Yes being 'allowed to keep the pound' bemuses me too.

[Spinaroo]

Done- I assume our usernames will not appear in the press?

[dashoflime]

Done. Not sure why I've been asked to give an opinion on the attractiveness of Salmond and Darling. Its not really relevant is it? Everyone knows politics is rock and roll for ugly people

[TheScottishPlay]

Done.

[expatinscotland]

Done.

[gildedlily]

done though I felt a bit uncomfortable about the attractiveness bit if this meant physically attractive. Also interested in knowing who the research is for.

[FannyFifer]

I think Alistair Darling is doing a fantastic job for the YES campaign.

Alex Salmond is not the leader of the YES campaign though.

[FannyFifer]

Daily Mail though eh?

[Elliptic5]

Completed, some interesting questions

[KatieMumsnet]

Hi All,

Thanks so much to to those of you who've already taken part, it's with the Sunday Times.

Apologies for typo. on Alistair Darling, we'll get that fixed. I take attractiveness to mean more along lines of who you'd have a drink with, rather than physically (snort at dashoflime's observation), but you're free to interpret it any way you'd like.

No usernames will appear in paper, all comments (if any are included) will be anonymous, or if you said you'd be happy to be contacted, you can talk to a journalist and let them know your real name, but that's completely up to you, and no need to volunteer for that if it's not something you fancy.

[WildThong]

The Sunday Times has been quite good with its reporting relating to the referendum. I Will be very interested to see the final outcome.

[theborrower]

Done.

Questions 16 and 17 still need correcting though

[RuinedAndNotorious]

Well, I've done it but the results will be somewhat skewed as there was no option to say I had no children. I know it's Mumsnet but not all posters have kids.

[KatieMumsnet]

Hi RuinedAndNotorious apologies, that usually is an option. Again we'll correct in the morning.

[museumum]

Completed. Even though it didn't really deal with any of the issues that matter to me. It's not all about economics you know. What about social justice? The environment? Nuclear arms?

bellacaledonia.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/beh5chuiaaa3y0x.jpg?w=700 Ali Darling was quite cute in his socialist youth...

(OK, I'll leave the thread now. But I did do the survey.)

[voluptuagoodshag]

Sorry, not completing it. The closed questions are so easy to manipulate and so open to interpretation by the press. Asking if we think either politician is 'blokeish'!!! What on earth is that supposed to mean and what relevance is it?
