David Cameron in last-ditch Scotland trip to make plea against split

David Cameron will today make a last-ditch trip north to urge Scots to vote No in the referendum and keep the United Kingdom together. The Prime Minister, who campaigned in Edinburgh last week, will be back in Scotland ahead of Thursday’s crucial vote, which could lead to the break-up of the UK if there is a majority for independence. With just three days of campaigning left, political leaders on both sides of the debate will be intensifying their efforts in a last-gasp attempt to win over undecided voters.

We’re not aiming to win by one vote, we’re aiming to achieve a substantial majority if we can.

First Minister Alex Salmond will be meeting business leaders - including Brian Souter of Stagecoach and former William Hill chief executive Ralph Topping - in a bid to highlight the economic opportunities a Yes vote on Thursday could bring. It comes in the wake of warnings from business and financial chiefs about the impact independence could have, with stores such as John Lewis and Asda last week suggesting prices could have to rise, while Deutsch Bank likened a vote to leave the UK to the mistakes which led to the Great Depression of the 1930s. Today, David Cameron is expected to issue a stark warning towards waverers that there could be “no going back” if they opt for independence.

I hate England. I like Scotland because somehow I think they are better than we are. They are more democratic.
