EU migrants urged to back Scots independence bid / Scottish separatist wins TV debate ahead of referendum

EUObserver writes of the campaigning in Scotland from both sides of the referendum debate to secure the support of migrants living in Scotland from other EU Member States.

Scotland's pro-independence leader Alex Salmond was seen as the winner of the final TV debate ahead of the referendum. A snap poll by ICM Research found that 71% of viewers said Salmond had won the debate which took place on 25 August 2014 in Glasgow. Alistair Darling, the head of the 'No' campaign and winner of the previous TV debate, only convinced 29% of the polled viewers.
