Anglophile in search of Scottish separation
Article Abstract:
Alex Salmond, leader of the Scottish National Party, hopes to be able to negotiate with the new government after the election on April 9, regarding a referendum to the Scottish people on independence for Scotland. In January 1992 a Scotsman newspaper poll showed there was 50% support for independence but this is now known to have fallen back to around 35%. He thinks Scotland, with its strengths and weaknesses, could do well economically. England, he says, is spoiling things by being dogmatic about Europe.

'The Sun' says: we're a tartan tabloid
Article Abstract:
Scottish editions of popular British newspapers, 'The Sun' and the 'Daily Record' have been calling for independence or devolution for Scotland. The newspapers have denied that these views are simply a strategy to increase sales. Scottish independence is always an issue during the run up to UK general elections. Another newspaper, 'The Sunday Times Scotland' wrote a leader condemning these exhortations to independence, 'The Scotsman 'commented in more moderate terms and 'The Herald' favoured devolution.
