Scottish Independence: Avengers Assemble

A lot can happen in 4 days. With the news of the Yes party triumphing in an opinion poll on Sunday filtering through, reality seemed to hit the leaders of the No party. Without intervention, the referendum could end up more of a humiliation than deserved victory, as momentum started swinging in favour of independence. Despite the opinion poll being in favor of Yes by 2%, leaders of the No party had seen enough, and took action 3 days later...

"No turning back" as No leaders reiterate their intentions for
Scotland to stay in the UK.

With David Cameron calling off his involvement in the Prime Minister's Questions, he travelled with fellow leaders Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg to Scotland. Their intentions clear, get momentum back in favour of No.

Meanwhile, that same day, good luck was to boost the No party, with several banks (including the RBS!) declaring they would move to England if Scotland became independent. With Alex Salmond more keen on the leaking of this information, he had inadvertently given the No party the ammunition they needed. 

Why vote YES: Scotland may have different political views to England in any matter
                           Choosing their own Government
                           Scottish resources and oil funds significant, and will go to Scotland
                           Getting rid of nuclear weapons

Why vote NO: The pound may no longer be the Scottish currency, and certainly decreasing its value
                          Uncertain future, Scotland may not have the resources to be Independent
                          Sharing resources and oil funds benefits all of us
                          Keeping nuclear weapons

Upon reaching Scotland, the No leaders set about rescuing their mission, with debating and public speaking, they started to gain the public's attention. Persuading them against a long and complicated split leaving both countries weaker economically and socially. But not being alone, united as the UK should be (as they put it), they justified themselves in a bid for Scotland and England to be united.

“Let no one in Scotland be in any doubt: we desperately want you to stay; we do not want this family of nations to be ripped apart.” - David Cameron

The result of these daring last antics were at first claimed to be "too little, too late", however this was clearly not the case, as an opinion poll the next day showed the No party had re-gained the lead with 53%. So the Avengers have shown what they're capable of, but with a week to go, will the tables turn again?
