They have won the last 2 elections in Scotland. They didn't do that on the back of a single policy.

By his party certainly, they're not called the Conservative and Unionist Party for nowt
Cameron's legacy will be "The PM who tore apart the Union"

Recounts are only allowed in certain circumstances, the closeness of the ballot isn't one of them

| Taking aside the general "chippiness" of many Scots and an in-built antipathy towards the English, what this campaign has shown is that many, many Scots simply do not connect with a London-centric political elite.
I do hope that this will extend beyond the Scottish border and way past the referendum. A major factor in the lack of engagement in politics in the mainland UK, is the belief that, apart from a few tweaks, politicians are pretty much cut from the same cloth and are in it for what they can get out. Modern politicians aren't interesting in serving anyone but themselves and their backers.
If Thursday's decision is NO, then more powers will be devolved to Scotland. Wales & Northern Ireland will expect more and I would hope for a groundswell of support for Regional Assemblies in England too. If London can do it, why can't Yorkshire, Lancashire (as was) or the West Midlands? There could be an assembly for the East Midlands, the South East, The Umbrias (North and Cum) and the West Country. Cornwall and East Anglia are already like foreign countries anyway, so just leave them to their own devices.

| I actually found myself agreeing with George Galloway on the radio today, when he was questioning the intimidatory campaigning of the Yes side.
The tactic of Salmond labelling the Yes campaign 'Team Scotland' is one laced with the type of division that could well lead to trouble on the streets of Scotland come the weekend - It is a label that suggests anybody voting No is not Scottish, or, at least, is not voting in the interests of Scotland.
Its also a tactic which makes me more convinced that the No's are actually further ahead than the polls suggest - I would reckon there are a decent number of folk who are scared to reveal their intention come Thursday for fear of reprisal.... Its a sad indictment of how sordid some of this campaigning truly is.

| Quote King Street Cat="King Street Cat"I haven't really been following this whole YES/NO charade. After catching some of it on Newsnight last night nobody seems to know what they're actually voting for. I don't know if it was the BBC staging it to look like a shambles or whether that really is the case. Then add to that the pro-union rally with Izzard, Murray Geldof et al all pushing their own agendas and the whole thing just came across as a circus. Had to laugh at media whore Michelle Mone when she proudly proclaimed she was a YES then realised she actually meant to say NO. If it does result in a YES I hope we don't end up with her south of the border.'"
Quite naively I suppose, when the referendum was announced I never thought it would get so close to polling day with so many major issues completely unresolved. I expected there would be some final horse trading to be done, a difference of opinion of £10b or so on how much of the national debt Scotland would take, exactly how the armed forces would be shared out, lots of minor details etc
It just never occurred to me that they wouldn't know the currency would be, that Scotland would be threatening to renege on the national debt, that EU membership would be unsure, that no one would have a clue on what basis the 2015 general election would take pace or even if it would take place.

Apparently No. 10 have precisely ZERO policies in place, should the vote be YES.
Friday morning could well be a "[is[/ihit, what do we do now" day
