Cameron pleads to Scotland: Don’t break away and hurt U.K.’s clout

Prime Minister David Cameron made an emotional appeal on Friday for Scotland to remain part of the United Kingdom, warning Scots a vote for independence would undermine Britain’s global clout and imperil its financial and political stability.
Speaking in London, Cameron, an Englishman whose Conservative party has only one of 59 U.K.-wide seats in Scotland, made his most passionate defence yet of the U.K., which comprises England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
