Remember Tories were shut out in Scotland in the last election.
You have to wonder why David Cameron spent so much time and effort trying to keep in the UK a region that’s not going to vote for his party.
Cameron doesn’t care about party, he is more leftist than his base anyway. This vote is not about party
That’s easy to answer. The full name of the Conservative Party is something like the Conservative Unionist Party, born out of the Irish independence debacle.
Tories are, regardless of politics, against the breaking up of the union or ceding of territory. David Cameron, a Conservative Party prime minister, does not want to preside over the dissolving of the UK. His name would be mud in the history books forever.
In addition, he offered the referendum to Scotland no doubt assuring his backbenchers there was no chance they would vote Yes. If they do, he will be ousted.
