Mengapa UK tidak penjarakan pemisah Scotland?

Wong Chin Huat, Malaysia Insider
Dua hari selepas Malaysia menyambut harijadi yang ke-51, bekas kuasa penjajah kita, United Kingdom (UK) akan menghadapi saat genting hidup-matinya: pungutan suara Scotland untuk menuntut kemerdekaan.

EDINBURGH (Reuters) - British Prime Minister David Cameron on Wednesday begged Scots not to rip apart the United Kingdom's "family of nations", flying to Scotland to man the barricades against a surge in support for independence eight days before a referendum.

Cameron appealed to Scots to use their heads and their hearts when they voted on Sept. 18. He reminded them of their shared history and bonds with England, Wales and Northern Ireland - twice evoking World War Two and the fight against Hitler.

Scotland poise to vote for independence of UK !


The leaders of Britain's three main political parties announced a last-minute trip to Scotland on Tuesday to boost the campaign against independence after a surge in separatist support ahead of next week's referendum.

Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron and opposition Labour leader Ed Miliband agreed to skip their weekly debate in the House of Commons on Wednesday and instead head north, reflecting a new sense of urgency in the unionist camp.

By Martin Kelly More evidence has emerged demonstrating the extent to which Scots were misled by successive UK Governments over North Sea oil.

One month after former Labour Chancellor Denis Healey admitted that his party had underplayed the value of Scottish oil in the 1970s, new research has revealed that during the same period the Conservatives failed to honour a pledge to set up an oil fund.

In the October 1974 General Election, the Conservative manifesto promised that the UK government would create an oil fund for Scotland should the party be returned to power.
