| With Labour it's a question of survival, it will be very very difficult (but not impossible) for them to win a majority at Westminster without their Scottish MPs. Were there a "Yes" vote followed by a Labour majority government secured by the Scottish MPs a compelling argument could be made that it lacked any legitimacy. For the Tories I guess it's about status, Cameron does not want the split of the union on his watch as prime minister. Lib Dems, no idea. |
