EDINBURGH – It’s easy to say rhetoric, but in the last moments of the campaign shows images of Shakespeare alternate slogans closest to Barack Obama, in a crescendo that has run off at midnight when night has fallen on the referendum for Scottish independence.

From 7 to 22 today 4.3 million residents between Lowlands and Highlands of British passport, EU or Commonwealth will decide whether 307 years of history to be buried in the name of a new small country, independent and sovereign, Scotland.

The polls last 48 hours confirm that it is the last fight card: four institutes indicate 48% for the “Yes” to secession and 52% for the “No”, two research tighten the gap to 49 against 51 For all overcomes Union, but no statistical institute out of the margin of error, leaving the door wide open to any outcome. London and Edinburgh have declined to browse the daisy with opinion polls and projections night: the counting will be live and the first results will come from the seats of the Western Isles at 2 am on Fridays, between 4 and 6 will touch the cards of Edinburgh and Glasgow that the number of inhabitants and intensity of the comparison are the most uncertain and inconclusive. Within 7 Scottish nationalist leader and first minister of lands beyond the Vallo, Alex Salmond, will announce if it is intended to be premier or if perhaps will march to the departure from the political limelight. The same, at this point, is likely to happen to David Cameron who confessed to not sleeping at night.

Murray, a tweet for the “yes”
” Let’s do it! “” A great day for Scotland today! No negative campaign in recent days has affected my point of view. Excited to see what will be the result. Let’s do it. ” With this tweet posted at 2:08 of the night, and already retweeted 11 thousand times, the tennis champion Andy Murray throws his mask and array for yes. Born in Glasgow on May 15, 1987, Murray broke his apparent impartiality with a tweet in which he emphasized his distaste for the negative campaign of the last days of ‘no’, focused on the goal of scaring the Scots on the consequences of the vote . A heavy yes, the former Wimbledon champion, very popular in the country.

Nation split
Today you just have to listen to some calls for a nation split like an apple. Be the first to echo in the streets of Glasgow was the “Let’s do it ‘,’ Come on, let’s do it,” Alex Salmond has launched his own, ready to respond with the inevitable: “Yes we can and we will.” That they can succeed and that there has never been as much as possible now. Surveys have, it is true, found a room for the Unionists, but all indicate that after the setback of a few days ago, the consensus for the “Yes” is growing again. I’m back, but accelerate.

“Do not let this moment escape route. It is the most important step in our history. In this city, 40% of children live in poverty. I’m ashamed, I ask you the power to change reality, “insisted Alex Salmond replicating the encouragement that the former Labour Prime Minister Gordon Brown launched at the same instants of an audience of uncertain. “When it is done is done – said the lingering reference to Macbeth – you will never go back. If you are undecided, if you have a single doubt the answer must be “No” is a trap from which there is no escape … more ». Words to the 10% in the polls that s’arruola with the “do not know”, the real reserves on which count the Unionists, convinced that those who have not yet matured opinion will eventually favor the status quo.

Likely, certainly possible, but further confirmation of what a consultation that gave London has taken a turn for win quite different. There are those who also sees the help of Rupert Murdoch and his newspaper The Sun, also popular here, has moved the inevitable topless page three way ahead in flip through, procuring the space more “bed” of the tabloid tabloid publicity the “Yes”. The group made it known that it is not an endorsement, but the rascals are perplexed.

Gleanings of a day spent in the name of the markets for the first time in two weeks show that they believe one little more in the Union victory. Sensations without any real basis, at the end of a campaign that a winner already has it: the “Yes” hath wrought with extraordinary vigor gaining huge visibility. The world that supports London s’augura is not enough to really change the history of the United Kingdom.
