Sadly, while big banks/businesses and Unionist politicians have been warning of dire consequences should Scots have the temerity to vote YES, in Scotland itself there appears to have been widespread intimidation by over-enthusiastic nationalists of anyone who does not agree with them. IMO, many Scottish voters are therefore not disclosing their views to anyone (including pollsters), but will turn up to vote NO in the secrecy of the polling booth.<br /><br />I expect a NO majority of at least 10% on 18/9/14, but that Unionist politicians will then renege on their promises to revise devolution, or deliver new arrangements for Scotland that would be much more financially deleterious than independence. Westminster politicians will know that the possibility of secession has been put off for a generation and that their success depends on the views of English voters, not those from the Celtic fringes.<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7537211694317439897.post-89566163232878827732014-09-08T03:50:00.781+01:002014-09-08T03:50:00.781+01:00YES!
