I'm shocked by the 'better together' and the Labour Party's attitude. From what I've seen/read it's very confrontational, talking about borders and trying to frighten them into voting 'no' rather than leaving it up to them and trying to work together no matter what because, like it or not, that's what they'll have to do
If I was Scottish, given the way the 'no' supporters have behaved, I'd be tempted to vote 'yes' just to put two fingers up to the establishment and be even more determined to make an independent Scotland work
It's been shambolic, disorganised, and overly reliant on 'celebrity/political endorsements, while the 'Yes' campaign has cleverly built from the bottom and created a stronger and broader consensus. Eleven days to go and the Westminster politicians are only now returning from their long holiday, with news of a large pay increase, before they have a recess for the conference season. Against this background, it is little wonder the 'Better Together' campaign is so devoid of leadership and drive.
If the Scots do return a 'Yes' vote, historians will surely marvel at the sheer complacency and arrogance displayed by Westminster. They might conclude, however, that this was merely emblematic of what drove the Scots to dissolve the Union in the first place.
