Speaking as a person who lives in Scotland, I have had only received the approved PR material delivered to my door via Royal Mail. No door step canvassers and no phone calls offering transport to the Voting Station.

It's obvious the Yes Campaign dominates the web and blogosphere but most people who will vote on the day will not form their opinion from such sources. It's also obvious that a really big push is being made for the "working class" vote in the normally staunch Labour heartlands. That's being done by an interesting alliance of SNP and Scottish Socialist Party activists promising the world in return for a Yes vote.

However, this whole process is opening a chasm that may never be closed and unless HMG is very careful, offering more powers to Edinburgh late in the day only serves to confirm the SNP case that post Devolution, real power still lies in London.
