'Your Scotland, Your Referendum': An Analysis of Consultation Responses

ANNEX 3: QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS AND TABLES

This Annex provides information about the quantitative coding frameworks for Questions (or parts of Questions) 1, 2, 3, 6 and 7. In particular, this section includes details of how respondents' comments were classified in relation to agreement or disagreement with the following issues:

• The proposed referendum question (Question 1)
• The proposed timetable (Question 2)
• The issue of whether a second question should be included in the referendum (Question 3)
• The issue of Saturday voting (Question 6)
• Whether the franchise should be extended to include 16 and 17 year olds (Question 7).

As has previously been stated in Chapter 3, the consultation document did not ask respondents to specifically say whether they agreed or disagreed with these proposals. Rather respondents were asked open-ended questions: 'What are your views about X?'.

Therefore, the comments that have been received did not always lend themselves to categorisation on the basis of agreement or disagreement. In some cases respondents explicitly stated their agreement / disagreement; in other cases, their agreement / disagreement had to be inferred. However, in still other cases it was not possible to determine whether they agreed or disagreed at all.

A coding framework was developed for each of the questions to reflect the comments submitted to each.

Question 1: What are your views on the referendum question?

Six quantitative categories were used:

• Definite agreement: Respondent made a comment which clearly indicates that they are satisfied with the proposed referendum question. For example:
  • "The referendum question is clear and concise."
• Inferred or conditional agreement: Respondent made a comment which can be inferred as agreeing with the proposed referendum question. This category includes comments in which the respondent made a positive comment, but also suggested an amendment (usually minor) to the question. For example:
  • "The question is good, but would prefer to change 'country' to 'nation'".
• Disagreement: Respondent made a comment which either indicates clear disagreement, or for which disagreement with the proposed referendum question is implied. For example:
  • "The question is biased in favour of a yes response. Change it to 'Should Scotland be independent?'"
• Mixed or unclear views: Respondent made a comment about the question, but it could not be classified as agreement or disagreement. In many cases, this is because they made both positive and negative comments about the question without making their own views clear. For example:
  • "The referendum question and ballot paper are clear and appropriate, but the question is leading."
• Other comment: Respondent made a comment which was not about the proposed referendum question. (For the purposes of quantitative analysis, if the respondent made a comment about the ballot paper, but no comment about the question, the comment was categorised as 'other comment'.)
• No answer: Respondent did not answer the question. Question left blank.

Question 2: What are your views on the proposed timetable?

Seven quantitative categories were used:

• Definite agreement: Respondent said they agreed, or were happy with the proposed timetable. For example:
  • "I think Autumn 2014 is just right."
• Inferred or conditional agreement: Respondent made a positive comment which implied agreement with the timetable, or the respondent agreed with the timetable, but put conditions on that agreement. For example:
  • "Probably OK if everything can be done properly by then."
• Definite disagreement: Respondent specifically stated that they did not agree with the timetable as set out in the consultation document - or that they would prefer an earlier (or later) timetable. For example:
  • "Have it earlier - 2013 at the latest."
• Inferred or conditional disagreement: Respondent stated that their preference would be to have an earlier (or later) timetable, but they would be willing to agree to the timetable set out in the consultation document in certain circumstances or for certain reasons. For example:
  • "I would prefer earlier, but it would be acceptable if the Electoral Commission thought so."
• Mixed or unclear views: Respondent made a comment about the timetable, but their views were not clear. In some cases, this is because they gave arguments both for and against the proposed timetable without making their own views clear. For example:
  • "I can see the logic of the timetable, but two years of uncertainty may not be good for the economy?"
• Other comment: Respondent made a comment which was not about the proposed timetable. (For the purposes of quantitative analysis, if the respondent made a comment about the voting arrangements, but no comment about the proposed timetable, the comment was categorised as 'other comment'.)
• No answer: Respondent did not answer the question. Question left blank.

Question 3: What are your views on the inclusion of a second question in the referendum? Seven quantitative categories were used:

• Definite agreement: Respondent expressed clear agreement with the idea of having a second question in the referendum. For example:
  • "I would welcome a second question because…"
• Inferred or conditional agreement: Respondent agreed that a second question should (or could) be included if certain conditions were met. For example:
  • "Happy if that's what people want / … if that's what the Scottish Government thinks."
• Definite disagreement: Respondent clearly disagreed with the idea of having a second question. For example:
  • "A second question muddies the issue."
• Prefers not: Respondent stated that they would prefer not to have a second question, but would be willing to do so in certain circumstances or for particular reasons. This category also included people who said that a second question should only be used in certain circumstances, or should not be used unless certain conditions were met. For example:
  • "A second question should only be included if this consultation shows there is a demand for it. I would prefer one question."
• Mixed or unclear views: Respondent presented arguments for and against the idea of having a second question without making his / her own views clear. This category also includes: (i) comments that expressed a (weak) willingness to have a second question, but at the same time expressed concerns or presented arguments against it; and (ii) those where the respondent said they were ambivalent, undecided or unsure about the issue. For example:
  • "Not sure. It depends on what the second question is!"
• Other comment: Respondent made a comment which was not about the issue of a second question. (For the purposes of quantitative analysis, if the respondent made a comment about the potential voting system, but no comment about whether they preferred one question or two in the referendum, the comment was categorised as 'other comment'.)
• No answer: Respondent did not answer the question. Question left blank.

Question 6: What are your views on the idea that the referendum could be held on a Saturday?

Seven quantitative categories were used:

• Definite agreement: Respondent made a comment which indicates that they would be in favour of holding the referendum on a Saturday. For example:
  • "Great idea! Why hasn't it always been on a Saturday!"
• Inferred or conditional agreement: Respondent made a positive comment which implied agreement with the idea of holding the referendum on a Saturday, or the respondent agreed but put conditions on that agreement, or the respondent agreed but also made further suggestions. For example:
  • "Certainly worth considering, but why not Saturday and Sunday?"
• Definite disagreement: Respondent specifically stated that they did not agree with the idea of holding the referendum on a Saturday. For example:
  • "It's always been a Thursday. It shouldn't be changed now."
• Inferred or conditional disagreement: Respondent made a comment which implied disagreement with the idea of holding the referendum on a Saturday, or they disagreed unless specific conditions were met. For example:
  • "Saturday is already a busy day for most people."
• Mixed or unclear views: Respondent made a comment about Saturday voting, but their views were not clear. In some cases, this is because they gave arguments both for and against Saturday voting without making their own views clear. For example:
  • "Tricky one - has both its pros and cons."
• Other comment: Respondent made a comment which was not about the issue of Saturday voting. (For the purposes of quantitative analysis, if the respondent made a comment about other ways of increasing voter turnout, but no comment about Saturday voting, the comment was categorised as 'other comment'.)

No answer: Respondent did not answer the question. Question left blank.

Question 7: What are your views on extending the franchise to those aged 16 and 17 years who are eligible to be registered on the electoral register?Seven quantitative categories were used:

• Definite agreement: Respondent was clearly in favour of extending the franchise to 16 and 17 year olds. For example:
  • "Why not - it's their future."
• Inferred or conditional agreement: Respondent expressed agreement with the proposal to extend the franchise to 16 and 17 year olds, but put conditions on that agreement. For example:
  • "Seems like a good idea, so long as the schools explain the importance of voting."
• Definite disagreement: Respondent was clearly not in favour of extending the franchise to 16 and 17 year olds. For example:
  • "Terrible idea. They're just children."
• Inferred or conditional disagreement: Respondent's comments can be inferred as disagreeing with the proposal to extend the franchise to 16 and 17 year olds, or they disagreed unless specific conditions were met. For example:
  • "Do they have enough life experience to be able to vote?"
• Mixed or unclear views: Respondent made a comment about extending the vote to 16 and 17 year olds, but their views were not clear. In some cases, this is because they gave arguments both for and against the proposal without making their own views clear. For example:
  • "My daughter would love to vote, but some of her friends are very immature."
• Other comment: Respondent made a comment which was not about the subject of extending the franchise to 16 and 17 year olds.

No answer: Respondent did not answer the question. Question left blank.
