Scottish independence: Predicted effect on personal finances 2014 survey

If Scotland were to become an independent country, do you think you would be financially better or worse off?

The data displays a distribution of respondents to a survey question designed to find out how those residing in Scotland think their personal finances would be effected if, in September 2014, Scotland voted 'yes' for independence from the UK. With a great deal of campaigning taking place on both sides of the debate, the 'no' vote usually has the most supporters in the polls. In January 2014, it was most commonly anticipated that there would be no difference to personal finances if Scotland left the UK.
