This article by Irvine Welsh is a really thoughtful and considered account of why the traditional Labour voters are turning their backs on the party and voting Yes, I'm sure the folk who are content to make lazy jibes about the 'sweaties' won't read it but if you care about what's going on it will be interesting.
I meant to link that article yesterday, thanks for beating me to it. A welcome intrusion on the debate. Stick it, Rowling.

So you're crediting Murdoch with the poll results rather than Labour/Lib/Tory failure to present any kind of argument about why the Union works for Scotland, or an SNP campaign that's been relentlessly effective from day one? Murdoch might be stirring the pot now but it's only because it sells papers and he rejoices in embarrassing the establishment.
Cameron can't even show his face north of the border because he's that toxic, and Milliband/Clegg are cut from the same cloth so they roll out Gordon Brown, who himself is tainted by being Blair's stooge for the duration of a period that ratified Thatcherism and thought that a token Scottish parliament would cement their legacy of influence in Scotland.
