British Prime Minister David Cameron has issued an appeal to Scottish voters to reject independence in Thursday’s referendum. Cameron spoke during a visit to Scotland on Monday.

British Prime Minister David Cameron: “It’s my duty to be clear about the likely consequences of a 'yes' vote. Independence would not be a trial separation, it would be a painful divorce. So this is our message to the people of Scotland: We want you to stay. Head, heart and soul, we want you to stay. Please don’t mix up the temporary and the permanent. Please don’t think: I’m frustrated with politics right now so I’ll walk out the door and never come back. If you don’t like me, I won’t be here forever. If you don’t like this government, it won’t last forever. But if you leave the United Kingdom, that will be forever.”

Polls show the referendum is too close to call, with a large number of voters still undecided.
