I will vote YES to Arista's Scottish republic
I am not a raging Braveheart nationalist, it just seems the lesser of two evils from David Cameron's Britain. I found it bluddy awful that UKIP were even in the frame for a Parliamentary seat.
I distrust Scotland's First Minister a lot - at Uni in the 80s, my flatmate was the organiser of the SNP student body, he'd organise things I'd attend. So I've sat down manys a time with Alex to chew the fat. He is unconvincing.
As a socialist, I can only vote for what I believe in. More Dave the rave Cameron is not what I want, but what I will get.
I think the independence vote will fail, and I think as a consequence that Scotland fall back to being a backwater where Cameron can impose London-centric thinking upon an essentially socialist country.
