Rest of Britain will campaign in the Scottish Independence referendum
January 13, 2012
The Independence referendum will see a novel feature introduced to referendums in Britain. While voting will be restricted to residents in Scotland, interested parties from all over the UK will be legitimate campaigners for either side.

I have one Swiss friend who has fought 40 such campaigns on behalf of Swiss business organisations. Anyway expect groups from the rest of Britain to make their voices heard in the Independence debate.
