As we enter the final few hours before voting starts I thought I’d round up some of the better articles from my point of view, so if nothing else I can refer to them when the dust starts settling. so in no particular order:
- Spiked get to the nub of the anti-democratic forces represented by the “Yes” campaign
- Harry’s place has a view from north of the border
- Apprently debate isn’t welcome in the yes camp
- Dan Hodges observes that the Union may be much like a Norewgian blue – regardless of the vote
- Anna Racoon has some words of wisdom from outside the UK
- Andrew lilico sings the praises of the Union
- Spiked fails to find the revolutionary political spirit that the independence supporters promise a new Scotland
- The Spectator considers the sorry state of the pro-union campaign
- Frank Davis wonders if Scottish independence may by the blue touch paper for the rest of Europe
- Does Scotland really have so little influence? history suggests not
- Richard North considers the complexity of leaving the Union
- Leg Iron wonders much like the rest of us what Clegg knows
That’s almost quite enough links, so to finish up two articles about how great the Union actually is, because somehow talking about the best aspects of the Union has been cast as jingoistic and the wrong kind of nationalism where as Scottish independence is the right kind of nationalism which really ham strings talking about the Union in a positive way.
Tim Stanley and Andew Lilico both have a few words on how great the Union is, probably many other people I’ve missed as well.
