It worked for those who already thought it worked ... but probably very hard for anyone undecided to decipher a decent argument in Salmond's rant. I hadn't ever watched more than a quick news snippet of Salmond before - have to say I sat there in a kind of horrified trance. He was like one of the characters out of Psychoville in his exaggerated everything. And like yahyah I found the very obvious choreography - coming out from behind his lectern and taking centre stage every time he said his piece - curdling. Snake oil salesman. But obviously some people find him likeable and, even stranger, convincing enough to vote for.Eric_WLothian wrote:"What's Salmond going to do?"

Indeed. I've yet to find out from the 'yes' camp just how they're going to force another sovereign state into a currency union when said state has already said it ain't gonna happen. What's Salmond going to do? Use harsh language? Call them Sassenach bastards? The rUK government will shrugs its shoulders, and watch the carnage.
If Scotland does actually vote YES ... I wonder what will happen in the 18 months negotiation period before a formal exit - will we see a fair few businesses shifting their bases asap?
