Scotland’s First Minister Alex Salmond overwhelmed a nervy Alistair Darling in the final on air debate ahead of the Scottish independence referendum next month.
The leaders of the rival campaigns in Scotland’s independence referendum battle have clashed in the first televised debate ahead of the September 18 poll. So, who came out on top?
The first official television debate in the lead up to the Scottish independence referendum between Alex Salmond and Alistair Darling is being broadcast tonight, 5 August, on STV from 20:00.
Support for Scottish independence has fallen to 35%, while 54% would vote ‘No’, according to the latest YouGov poll for The Times.
Chancellor George Osborne is expected to rule out the possibility of a formal currency union between the UK and Scotland, if the Scottish people vote for independence in the referendum on the 18th September.
