Cameron ‘must drop all else’ for Scottish poll

British Prime Minister David Cameron was urged by fellow lawmakers to "drop everything else and fight" to keep Scotland part of the United Kingdom, two weeks before a referendum vote which polls show is becoming increasingly close.

The September 18 referendum featured heavily in Cameron’s weekly question and answer session in parliament, just a day after an opinion poll showing support for independence at its highest-ever level threw the fate of the UK into question.

Edward Leigh, a member of Cameron’s Conservative party, said that leaders of Britain’s three main political parties — all of whom are campaigning against independence — had been complacent that they would win the vote.
