Prime minister of Scotland asks people attend to the polls

                    

London - The Scottish First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, asked on Thursday that the people go to the polls to cast his vote in the referendum on the UK stay in the European Union (EU), with the fear that the rain may affect participation.

"I am very optimistic (about the participation in Scotland)," he told the press the leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP), adding: "I voted with the head and the heart."

"From what I see in social networks, the weather is very variable across the UK, and saw that there were people who had voted under a heavy rain, but in Glasgow the weather is sunny and perfect for votes," said Sturgeon.

Like all political leaders in Scotland, except for the eurofóbico UKIP, Sturgeon campaigned in favor of staying in the EU with the argument that trade and employment autonomy would be affected by "brexit".

The SNP also pointed out that if the rest of the United Kingdom decide to leave the EU, against the Scottish vote, his government would call a second referendum for independence.

Scottish independence lost a first consultation on September 18, 2014, when he won the option to remain in the UK by 55% against 45% of the vote.

During the referendum campaign, Sturgeon showed convinced that the vote of Scotland, more pro-European than England, may be key to the outcome, although the region has only 8% of the total UK population.
