MOSCOW, September 10 (RIA Novosti) – In a plea addressed to the Scottish public through the Daily Mail, UK Prime Minister David Cameron stated that a Yes vote would mean "a leap into the dark", while a No vote would bring Scotland a brighter future.
"So the choice for you is clear: a leap into the dark with a Yes vote, or a brighter future for Scotland by voting NO. You can have the best of both worlds in the UK", Cameron stated in a plea penned for the Daily Mail on Tuesday.
In his article, Cameron cautioned Scots against the costs they will incur should the referendum yield a Yes result, paid health care among other things.
"No Vote doesn't mean a vote for the status quo – NO doesn't mean no change. It means significant further devolution for Scotland – major new powers over tax, spending and welfare all being passed to Scotland", Cameron warned.
Cameron assured the Scottish public that within the structure of the UK, Scotland will continue to be granted more autonomous power.
Cameron also reminisced about Westminster's contribution to the Scottish enlightenment and industrial revolution, at the same time granting Scotland a considerable amount of self-governance.
Scotland is to hold a referendum on independence on September 18.
