The Scotsman Cartoon: Independence Easter Eggs

THE latest Scottish independence referendum poll laid a nice little egg for the Yes campaign, indicating the tide of public opinion is in their favour.

A landmark ICM survey reveals a decline in the No vote from 46 per cent to 42 per cent over the past month. Over the same period, the Yes vote has remained steady at 39 per cent, resulting in a significant tightening of the gap between the two sides. Which means this Easter Alex Salmond must be the happy bunny, as Alistair Darling is left searching for positive news for his No campaign.
