Alex Salmond: Yes vote a 'common sense argument'

A yes vote in the independence referendum will be "an act of national self-confidence and self-belief", and is not about victory for the SNP, the First Minister will tell delegates at his party conference.

Alex Salmond will stress that the "common-sense argument" for ending the union is based on the record of the Scottish Parliament.

In his speech at Perth Concert Hall he will say: "A yes vote is not about a victory for the SNP, or even a victory for the yes campaign - or even the huge coalition of interests and enthusiasm that supports a yes vote".
