It's not a vote for independence, or for nationalism, as the right wing Westminster media woudl have you believe. It's a vote for the sort of government we want but can't get from Westminster, a broadly left of centre social democracy. Many more people voted for SNP in the election, including my Yorkshire wife, than voted for independence. We all feel completely let down by the failure of Westminster to implement the promises it made in order to to keep us in the union, and by a Socttish Labour Party ruled entirely from London.
I hope that explains things in a way that the Daily Mail and Telegraph and Express find themselves unable to.
On a lighter note, our pub quiz team picked up £150 last night in a round entitled Axemen. Very satisfying, especially as it was only split three ways!
