It’s been said that No remained hopeful of a longer term impact from the pound threat. The theory was it would be enough to put a brake on movement to Yes by giving undecided voters a clear example of ‘risk’. It was designed to halt any post-White Paper momentum. I’ve engaged with dozens of undecided voters on the currency question and for a small number the ‘sermon on the pound’ did create a barrier. Over time, it may have undermined the confidence of others. But no more. The big, indeed biggest, stick has cracked, beyond repair. We now know for sure the No currency pitch was a campaign tactic, driven forward by Alistair Darling. Even more remarkably, a Treasury source admitted Darling and Dunlop were “running the show – we just did what they said” #indyref
