As Scotland grapples with the wording of a possible referendum on independence, Chris Ledgard takes a look at the art of asking the right question. Whether in a referendum, survey or in a court room, how do you avoid writing an incomprehensible question or - perhaps worse - a leading question? Experts in linguistics, law, politics and psychology as well as politicians themselves explain the importance of getting the wording of a question right.
