I think they're targeting the youth vote, so no, they won't be thinking of economy or currency, just 'let us get rid of the English overlords (overlaird?) and that nice fishy bloke will give us lots of money, free childcare, free this, free that, with no idea how it will be paid for in the future. Oh, North Sea gas and oil?

First Minister Alex Salmond's argument that the revenues from North Sea oil would be a golden ticket if Scotland became independent after September's referendum has received a devastating blow.
According to the latest monthly report from the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec), the average oil output in 2013 from the North Sea registered its lowest level since 1977.
