Just an observation... But, if Ed wins in 2015 and the yes vote wins won't it be his job to sort it all out? Surely he needs/has to be there on the ground meeting people getting opinions now?
And it's hardly his fault there is a dearth of Tories to help out. Or Tories willing to mix with the people.
