If I may, I would like to give some account of why I became a supporter of independence. In the run up to the vote in 2014 I was actually more likely to vote no than yes; more likely, but not set in stone. Still, something troubled me, the gravity of this vote was such I decided to fall back on a tried and trusted routine I used during my involvement with my trade union, ( AUEW as it was then ). I switched off from the rhetoric coming from both sides and did my own research; even to the point of speaking to two people with a degree in economics. After my self induced purgatory; reading as much as I could get my hands on, I came to the conclusion that not only was I voting yes, but also that I could see very little argument against it.
I was born with this terrible affliction.....I refuse to be told what to think, not by politicians, not by newspapers, not by anybody; so I'm definitely not going to tell anyone else what to think. All I would do is respectfully suggest you too do your research, and if you arrive at a different conclusion from me well, that's absolutely fine. At least your opinion will be your own, and not somebody elses.
Just a wee PS, in the interest of fairness I have to say both the folk with degrees in economics were, and are, yes voters.
