Project fear : how an unlikely alliance left a kingdom united, but a country divided
Pike, Joe2015
Book
It was a bizarre moment in British political history: the three main Westminster parties working together to prevent the break-up of the United Kingdom. Yet despite sustaining a defeat that caused the resignation of First Minister Alex Salmond, the Scottish National Party has grown stronger than ever. They have turned their referendum failure into general election success. Based on over 50 off-the-record interviews with key figures, 'Project Fear' begins with a tour through the travails of the referendum's much-criticised 'No' campaign. From the secret preparations for the TV debates, to the eleventh-hour opinion poll showing the 'Yes' campaign ahead for the first time, and the nail-biting wait for results. It then explores the dramatic aftermath, the SNP's tsunami surge of support and how Alex Salmond and Nicola Sturgeon made headlines at the UK's most unpredictable election in a generation.
