Scottish independence: Confidence in potential leaders' expertise 2014 survey

If Scotland were to become independent, how confident would you be that there are enough people with the expertise and skills needed to run the country well?

The data displays a distribution of respondents to a survey question designed to find out how confident those residing in Scotland are that there are enough people with the right expertise to run the country well if, in September 2014, the country votes 'Yes' to become an independent nation. In January 2014, 49% of the respondents said that they weren't confident in the potential leaders of a Scotland independent from the UK.
