I'll be voting SNP for sure. As I think I stated on another thread not long after joining The Noise, I've been a political activist for almost all of my adult life. The last six years or so that activism has been for Scottish independence; that's why I joined the SNP. I see them as the only alternative to being governed by a Conservative Westminster Government.
While in conversation with my fellow SNP activists I don't hide the fact that my involvement with them is more than likely to be transient as I see them only as a vehicle for much needed change. If and ( hopefully ) when Scotland decides to take its future into its own hands by voting yes, I will then have a think about whether I go back to being a member of the Labour party or not.
For the record, my own belief is that if the Labour party is to survive in Scotland it will have to cut ties with the party in London; they no longer think the same. Tony Blair has seen to that.
Scottish independence is not about personalities, it's no about who leads which party, it's not about which football team we support, or which school we went to. It's about our right to self determination. It's about future generations of Scottish people experiencing a genuine Scottish democracy, actually getting the government we vote for. As things stand we only get that if England agrees with us. If England votes Conservative, Scotland gets Conservative.
For me, leaving the Labour party was like leaving my family; but after much soul searching, I had to acknowledge the fact that the Labour party I'd supported my whole life my life no longer exists.
As always, total respect to any of you who see things different.
