David Cameron on the Crimea Referendum

Earlier this year in the Crimean referendum 97% voted in favour to join with Russia, a country Crimea had been in union with for all but 23 of the last 100 years. Cameron said that this union should not be recognised by the International community.

On current estimates around 75% of voters will turnout for the Scottish referendum and there is a good chance the just over 50% will vote yes and independence will happen.

In other words on one random day way less than 40% of the electorate could bother to vote for independence, yet Cameron has dictated this will be enough to break a Union of over 300 years.
