So what are they gaining by what they are doing? They have to show interest and if they believe we are better as the UK they can outline those concerns. Then they should leave the people of Scotland to debate and decide. They more they speak out it seems the more they push the undecided to the YES camp, no-one likes to be told what to do by "outsiders".

Dat true dat
If they only had listened earlier. If the referendum had included a 3rd option for devo-max then the threat of breaking up the Union wouldn't be there. Even now they can't agree on what increased powers, if any, they'd be willing to devolve to Scotland.
This is now reminding me of the divorce I went through about 15 years ago. Belatedly, my then wife, realised that I wasn't bluffing and she suddenly did want to listen to what I had to say. When the mind is made up you got to go, then you've got to go.
