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. These RoB campaigns are what the Americans, who have a word for everything, call “out of State” campaigns. There may be resistance at first as SNP try to nationalise the campaign. But the US and Switzerland it would be absolutely routine for Federal, national business or civic groups to campaign in State/Cantonal referendums that they see have wider implications for them. 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.
