But while you say the Scots have laid down a challenge, that voting No cannot be a vote against change, you know very well that the appetite for real change could recede in London after a No, and that the sense of anti-climax (and betrayal) will be enormous if that happens. The certainty of real change by voting Yes is therefore a rational option. It would be in their hands! Building a new nation is exciting and challenging, if risky. But it can work. Everyone loves the Scots: The French, the Italians, the Germans, the Irish, the English...better together as independent nations. Yes sounds positive to me.
