He can certainly shout louder. It was a better performance than the last one but he is still dodging the hard answers and wanting people to make a hugely important decision, from which there is no backing out and turning back, based on guesswork, finger crossing and hope.

Is suppose he would, being an advisor to Salmond, regardless the overwhelming will of rUK, the clear view of all rUK political leaders and most other economists is a formal currency union won't happen.
Plus either with Sterling or the Euro iScotland wouldn't have full control of its currency and wouldn't be independent as I see it.

It was a debate between e leader of the two sides of the campaign. If Cameron had come it would have been even more of the 'Oooh evil Tories, food banks, privatisation! Etonian! Thatcher!' than we saw last night.
The Tories are hugely unpopular with the media and political activists up here, even if the numbers they got in the last election weren't a huge way away from the SNP and the leader of them appearing would have boosted the votes from those that think Braveheart is a historically accurate documentary.
