David Cameron to make plea to ‘silent majority‘ for No vote

David Cameron will urge the “silent majority” to speak up in support of a No vote in September.

The Prime Minister will address an audience in Scotland on Thursday afternoon, where he will be joined by Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson for a Rally for the Union.

Mr Cameron is expected to appeal to a shared history of achievement in an attempt to present a positive case against independence.

Mr Cameron will say: “We’ve heard the noise of the Nationalist few, but now it is time for the voices of the silent majority to be heard.

“The silent majority who feel happy being part of the UK; the silent majority who don’t want the risks of going it alone; the silent majority who worry about what separation would mean for their children and grandchildren.

“With 77 days to go, we need the voices of the many to ring out across the land. For each one to realise that they are not alone because there are millions just like them.”

He will also say people “can be a patriotic Scot and vote No” as he says there is a false choice “between the Saltire and the Union Flag”.
