There are less than 48 hours left until day X of Scotland. It will take place on Thursday the referendum awaited in recent years, which could sanction the definitive independence of Edinburgh from London. After the sensational summer recovery of the splitters, capable of bridging a gap of over 20 percentage points in a few weeks, the average of specific polls back to favoring the unionists.
Only one survey gave the "yes" ahead of the "no" by 8 points, but it was a survey via email, based on a very small sample (700 interviewees). The others, namely the Survation poll, the Opinium Poll of the Observer and the Panelbase survey of The Sunday Times instead give the "no" in the lead. Bearing in mind the statistical margin of error, however, the overall picture is still uncertain.
Yesterday, meanwhile, the British premier David Cameron he made one final, heartfelt appeal to the Scots: “Please don't tear this family of nations apart. It would be a painful divorce. Great Britain has become so because of Scotland's greatness, because of the thinkers, writers, artists, leaders, soldiers, inventors, who made this country great…and because of the millions of people who played their part in this extraordinary story success".
