Anxiety. Fear. A lot of passion. Scotland goes to the vote as well. It offers a number photograph of what this means independence referendum and how the Scots are living, whether they are deployed to the yes or no is for: 4 million and 410,288 residents over the age of 16 years and 4 million and 285,323 were recorded indicating its intention to go write their preference on the board. That means 97 percent, a record of participation. What then to do it, which are taken from the doubts that remain at home, it will be a last-minute choice. Many are still undecided. But, in any case, the campaign for this consultation historical mobilized as never before consciences.
It began two years ago so soft , lightweight, almost distracted, after ” Edinburgh Agreement ‘with which Alex Salmond, first minister of Scotland, and David Cameron, the British prime minister, had shaken hands began the process of consultation. A simple act of democracy and peaceful. It ends with the tones that rise and inevitable, with the capers and the nervousness that is growing, especially in the face of no. The latest polls are four, three say 52 to 48 per loyalists in London, one goes up to almost equal, 51 to 49 What forcing Alistair Darling, the former Chancellor of the Exchequer and leader of “Better Together” committee of the Unionists , admitting: “It was decided on the wire.” It is more likely the victory of no but it is not certain. The counting starts at 23 Italian. The outcome will be known before Friday morning.
The leaders of the two sides set fire to the last cartridge. And the fever goes up. The Daily Telegraph , Tory London newspaper, speaks of “intimidation, lies, slanders,” portraying an atmosphere of fierce battle. There are those who prefigures nightmare scenarios with thousands of Scots on the run in case of success of the separatists. Fantasies and alarmism that are part of the game. The number one Scottish police puts aa silence the most frantic conspiracy theorists: “We Scots are intelligent people, there are dangers. The items on the riots are exaggerated. ” Even the supporters of the partisans of yes and no boiling off the most dangerous: “It was a great competition, harsh but funny. And we will continue to live together. ” Or in the UK or in a separate Scotland. The clause number 30 of Edinburgh, however, reassures both parties agree to respect and honor the results and work in the best interests of Scotland and the UK.
The ‘no’ has pulled together bankers, industrialists, athletes and actors. For the past also former generals of the army and the RAF, the Royal Navy admirals. In 14 signed a letter published in the tabloid Sun (which still remains neutral after the weekend Scottish Rupert Murdoch): “The division of the United Kingdom weaken our security.” It has not been out of the arena Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy (besides Clinton) who fears the drag effect on Catalonia and which is opposed, therefore, to an integrated Europe Scotland.
In the wake of the passion with grace but as always , the independence leader Alex Salmond responded to Rajoy reminding him that the Scotland has 1% of the European population but 20% of fishing, the 25% renewable energy and 60% of its oil: can keep us out of Europe? Then he wrote a letter to all Scots: “With the head and the heart, we believe in ourselves.” Four million cards, yes or no. The history of the United Kingdom may change.
