Then there's people like me, sitting on the fence with a week to go. We're the ones who will make the decision and many of us are having, or trying to have an intelligent discussion about this. Possibly the most important vote that any of us have cast.
Distractions that insult our intelligence are likely to probe the stubborn, rebellious psyche of our Scottish nature and push us off the fence into the Yes camp.

If I were sitting on the fence I'd be looking at which vote represented the biggest risk. There's no doubt in my mind that 'Yes' represents a very big risk indeed. That's just my opinion though and as an Englishman I hope it doesn't push you the 'wrong' side of the fence...
