Impartial campaign ‘vital to independence debate’
AN impartial public education campaign must be mounted ahead of the independence referendum, academics at Edinburgh University said today.
They said it was vital to ensure that on such a crucial issue people had enough information to make a reasoned judgement.
The call came following yesterday’s launch of the Yes Scotland campaign, when First Minister Alex Salmond announced its aim of getting a million people to sign the Yes Declaration in favour of independence by 2014. He said: “If we achieve that, then we shall win an independent Scotland.”
