DESCRIPTION
With 400 days until the referendum on Scotland’s constitutional future, Ipsos MORI teamed up with journalist and broadcaster Steve Richards to look at the state of play in the polls and what ‘game changers’ might lie ahead in the year ahead. Mark Diffley looked at the number and profile of undecided voters and the information they are looking for ahead of the vote. Steve looked at the referendum from a Westminster perspective and in light of recent referendum experience across the UK.TRANSCRIPT
