In Glasgow, it’s difficult not to conclude that the ‘Yes’ camp has the momentum in these final few days. There are ‘No’ badges, posters and flags around the city, but they’re drowned out by the number of ‘Yes’ posters, and the excitement that ‘Yes’ events are creating. Last night I visited a perfectly jolly ‘Yes’ rally in George Square.
It was a funny sort of rally, as the PA system was only broadcasting remarks to those in the thickest knot of the crowd, rather than anyone at the edges.
The only voice anyone could really hear was from a small trestle table towards the back where the Scottish Socialist Party were asking people to sign petitions to end austerity and build a fairer Scotland. But everyone seemed happy just to mill about in the Square in their ‘Yes’ regalia.
