Because "It will only help the Yes campaign" is the only response the Nats have when faced with the harsh reality of someone disagreeing with them.

They simply can't conceive of someone not only telling them they're wrong, but actively campaigning against them. So the Nats first of all claim that someone campaigning for a No will actually help Yes, and then they claim that someone campaigning for a No is actually a bully, plus any other alliterative term they can think of.

By the way, it's worth reading today's Scotland on Sunday article to the bottom - John Curtice's analysis is very important, especially when it comes to the small sample size of this week's poll (meaning its reliability is open to question - they haven't published the margin of error, but it would be +/- 3pc on a sample of 1,000; I wonder what the sample size is, and what the margin of error is).

Also, Curtice points out that the Yes vote in all recent ICM polls is very soft; 18% of Yes voters say they may change their mind, only 10% of No voters say they might, and only 4% of No voters would change to Yes if they thought there would be no further devolution offered if Scotland rejects separatism in September.
