“NO ONE IS PREPARED TO CALL IT” SAYS MAJORCAN IN EDINBURGH

Tomeu Marti landed in Scotland on Tuesday evening and yesterday told the Bulletin that along the famous Royal Mile in Edinburgh, there was something like a “party atmosphere” with the ‘yes’ and ‘no’ movements out in force making their last ditch appeals for votes in today’s referendum.
“The place is absolutely packed, there are all sorts of events going on, Iam going to a rally by the radical party later and then a rally by Scottish immigrants in favour of remaining in the Union,” Marti said.
“But, some people are being very guarded while others are walking around with  ‘yes’ and ‘no’ stickers and lapel pins on.
“That said, there are quite a sizable number of people who either don’t know, don’t care or have yet to decide.
“But, interestingly enough, on Tuesday night, I caught two taxis and neither of the taxi drivers wanted to talk about the referendum, at least neither would tell me which way they intend to vote.
“I’ve been reading the papers, the latest poll in The Scotsman, for example as the ‘yes’ camp with 47 percent and the ‘no’ camp, 53 percent.
“But there is a large sensation that many people are undecided and the polls are so close, no one really seems to have any idea which way it is going to go today and that is why no one is brave enough on the streets of the capital to say who is going to win. So divided are people I’ve seen houses with a ‘yes’ poster in one bedroom window and a ‘no’ poster in the other, even families can’t decide and everywhere you look, there are ‘no’ stickers on top of ‘yes’ stickers and vice-versa.
“But, one must remember that 90 percent of the population has registered to vote, but no one is giving the polls much credibility, Marti said as he continued savouring history in the making, which ever the vote goes.
