Don't be fooled by ardent 'no' voters suddenly claiming to be ardent 'yes' voters. The SNP has always had a highly developed operation on that score, making their grass roots appear much larger and more vibrant than they really are. It is especially pernicious online. You have probably heard of the 'cybernat' phenomenon. The BBC' Scotland Politics editor, Brian Taylor, had to have his blog comments permanently turned off about 18 months ago because the cybernat infestation was so bad, it was impossible to have any meaningful debate beneath any of his posts. The Scotsman continues to suffer. Just have a look at their report on Osborne today and then view the synthetic outrage beneath it.
The Scottish voters are not fools. Polls have been showing for some time that they didn't expect the pound to be on offer to an independent Scotland. Other polls have shown Scotland to be just as Eurosceptic as the rest of the UK, despite assertions to the contrary by the SNP.
What will happen over the next few days is, the SNP will repeatedly be challenged to reveal their back-up plan for the currency. If they fail to provide one, others will step into the vacuum. There is one opinion piece on the Tele already, aiming to show that if it's not the Pound, it's the Euro. I predict that observation will gain traction over the coming weeks. There is no appetite for the Euro in Scotland. A Yes vote was never very likely but after today it is becoming a still more distant prospect.
