What we know already is that a significant number of Scottish people have a dream: where statehood, social justice and cultural self-confidence fit together into a clear and popular project. The rest of Britain may be stunned, but should not be surprised if the enthusiasm for this dream propels enough people into the voting booths to give the yes camp a narrow victory. If it happens therell be a lot of finger pointing, but its obvious in advance where the biggest problem lies: its become impossible to express opposition to free market economics via the main Westminster parties. Some English and Welsh voters think theyre doing it by voting Ukip. But the referendum offered Scottish voters a way to do it by destroying the union. Whether you think thats illusory or mistaken, its formed the narrative on the streets. theguardian/commentisfree/2014/aug/31/scottish-independence-yes-vote-turnout-polls
