As a democrat, I support the right of any community to determine their own affairs, if they so wish. I am glad to see you endorsing that view.<br />I am also glad to see you clarifying that you still support Scottish independence. But why then vote No in the referendum? Do you think there will be a better chance in your lifetime?<br />There is no place for a nationalist party in an independent country, so the SNP as a party will cease to exist.<br />Scotland will be what the Scots want it to be, and I hope you would play a positive part in that.Hamishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07401451754373118599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7972114991869354050.post-35007044507162576662013-03-18T16:29:04.701+00:002013-03-18T16:29:04.701+00:00This was the campaign of many years ago by Shetlan...This was the campaign of many years ago by Shetlanders. Did the SNP forget? I like the way the Shetlanders campaign has turned the SNP slogans against them. No PR bills then. By the day the SNP are showing they are really just playing at politics and it doesn't take much to trip them up. Amateurs. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
