Surely the best plan for the 'No' campaign is to get all the people that 'Don't care/Have no intention to vote' to go and vote. Surely the people that don't plan on voting don't care enough for independence...
But how do you manage to convince those voters when you can't even hold on to the voters you already had?Quote:

How has Salmond turned it around? By 60 to 30% voters say Yes campaign has been positive, by 60 to 31% they say No camp negative

Most polls are meaningless but this one is going to cause meltdown in Westminster.
I guess the government need to start buying the independence votes off of eBay then.Quote:

bit off topic but does anyone think there will be riots in scotland if there is a no vote
or if there is a yes vote i guess
I'm not surprised, i'm immensely saddened by it... although I have been warning for months that the ridiculous scaremongering by the NO campaign would backfire as it was so transparent and false as it's very similar to the bs we're fed 24/7 over leaving the EU. I have just seen others on Twitter now suggesting what I just said earlier: it may be time for the Palace to have the Queen make a last minute intervention in this.Quote:

I'd think that would be more likely in Northern Ireland.Quote:

Convention states that PM comes from majority coalition party.Quote:

i feel sad for u people who genuinely like us as one.... it's never been important for me to stay seeing as ive always seen england and scotland as hating each other and made to feel inferior for living here as compared to england. the debate has just furthered this belief for me as the no campaign never tells us why we are better with u, only why we're not good enough to go alone. it's sad bc people seem to love britain as it is but i just can't.
just gotta wait and see what does happen but either way there will be disappointment for a lot of people.
