Yes Scotland Increases

From BBC:
"Scottish independence: Yes camp hails 'momentum'"

Supporters of Scottish independence claim they have the "big momentum" with less than two weeks to go before the referendum vote. It comes as a Sunday Times poll suggests the Yes camp has taken the lead for the first time. Some 51% of those who have made up their mind and intend to vote back an independent Scotland while 49% plan to vote no, the YouGov poll suggests. The Better Together campaign's Alistair Darling called it a "wake-up call". The poll of 1,084 people, carried out between 2 and 5 September, is the first and only serious study to put the Yes campaign ahead, and suggests the pro-Union camp has lost its lead - once regularly in the double-digits.  On 18 September voters will be asked the Yes/No question: "Should Scotland be an independent country?" "Scotland is one of the wealthiest countries in the world," the SNP deputy leader added. "More and more people are beginning to realise that a Yes vote is Scotland's one opportunity to make that enormous wealth work better for everybody who lives here, create more jobs, and protect vital services such as the NHS from the damaging effects of Westminster privatisation." However, a separate poll for the Yes Scotland campaign put the pro-Union Better Together camp ahead by 52% to 48% - when undecided voters were excluded. As both sides step-up their campaigns with just 11 days to go till the referendum, a Downing Street source said David Cameron would "strain every sinew" to make the case for the union. The prime minister believes there is "only one poll that matters", the source said.

But Mr Darling said: "These polls can and must now serve as a wake-up call to anyone who thought the referendum result was a foregone conclusion - it never was.  "It will go down to the wire. Now is the time to speak up and speak out." Meanwhile, former Labour Prime Minister Gordon Brown appeared to blame the Conservative Party for the closeness of the battle.  Mr Brown suggested the Better Together camp was finding it "difficult" to win over Scots because of anger over coalition policies - including changes to housing benefit and tax cuts for the wealthy.


^ This seems pretty close and I am interested to learn the voting results. I have been to Scotland (and England) many times and know both places well. If Scotland does become independent I would like to go back and see how things have changed. ^
