On Thursday, Scots (who live in Scotland) will vote on their country's independence. Scotland has been a part of the United Kingdom since 1707.

According to the Telegraph report, Cameron said in his appeal, "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 UK,—that will be forever."
