Scotland Tonight: Commons Select Committee criticises referendum question

**The Commons Scottish Affairs Select Committee has condemned the SNP Government's proposed wording for the independence referendum. **

MPs claim that the question "Do you agree that Scotland should be an independent country?" is biased towards a Yes vote.

Scotland Tonight asked some voters for their opinion on the matter, and spoke to the opinion pollster Mark Diffley from Ipsos Mori Scotland.

Comments

On a scale of 1 to the lies, deceit and treachery by Westminster government towards the people of Scotland in the 1979 referendum, any perceived bias of the question as stated does not even register.

DO YOU AGREE with the Scottish affairs committee that the question is biased? Anyone notice that this is how most questions are phrased in normal life?
