Poll finds most non-Scots in the UK 'want a no vote'

More than half of people living in England, Wales and Northern Ireland do not want Scotland to become an independent country, according to a poll.

The One Poll survey of 5,000 adults in the UK for Good Morning Britain found that 53% of respondents outside Scotland did not want the country to leave, compared to 21% who did want the country to go it alone.

It also revealed that nearly half (48%) said they did not care whether Scotland becomes an independent country, while 42% said they did not think it would make any difference to their lives.

The survey shows some concerns about the financial impact of an independent Scotland on the rest of the UK.

More than half of respondents (52%) said they would not be better off financially in the event of a Yes vote, while only 16% thought the opposite.

The survey was carried out between September 3 and 12 across the United Kingdom.
