Choose what, in your opinion is good for the future of Scotland. This is more than a selection of politics or party, voting on an issue which will affect our nation. And this is not a vote against the English Tories and the Scottish national party. This is not a protest vote against class inequality.

And it is on both sides of the border. So I think it will work. In contrast, if the result was “NO” – then please do not forget – the Scottish National Party, which is in power – will remain in power.
