Most important vote we will cast in our lifetime

Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson has issued a rallying cry ahead of tomorrow’s referendum vote on separation. She said: “The vote we cast tomorrow will be the most important vote any of us will cast in our lifetime. We are not being asked to pick a government for five years, but to choose whether or not to break our country apart forever.

“There will be no going back after a Yes vote. But the risks of separation are risks that we don't have to take as a country. Change is coming - sweeping new powers to put the Scottish Parliament in charge of tax and welfare. But we will ensure that change doesn't come at the cost of our security and prosperity.

“A No vote means we keep the parts of the UK that we hold dear - our pound, our passport, our pension and our armed forces. All of the UK's success in the world is our success too, because - as Scots - we helped build the UK. It is ours.

“So I want people to walk proudly into the voting booths tomorrow, confidently casting their vote to keep our country together.”
