Referendum debate continues as campaigns enter final week
Alex Salmond has issued a personal plea to the people of Scotland on the eve of the independence referendum – urging them to seize the “greatest, most empowering moment”.
The first minister penned an open letter asking voters to step back from the political arguments and “take power into your own hands”. Read his exclusive letter here.
As the battle for hearts and minds entered its final hours, Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander – writing exclusively for the Press and Journal – said devolution “should not stop at Edinburgh” but benefit communities across Scotland. Read his exclusive letter here.
There was also a new financial warning as banking giant UBS suggested even a narrow No vote could still trigger an economic slump.
Prime Minister David Cameron also faced a revolt from back-bench MPs on a cross-party pledge of more powers for the Scottish Parliament, 24 hours after vowing a No vote would deliver an “unprecedented” package of devolution.
