I despise small minded nationalism, flag waving, and petty little divisions. Im sure most other people in Scotland feel the same, unyet Im a fanatical yes supporter. Just even a couple of years ago, the concept of independence was seen as stark raving mad, bonkers, lunatic fringe stuff by almost everyone north of the border. But heres the thing - since we've had devolution, the SNP have gone from a lunatic fringe party, to being the main political power in Scotland, with the simple act of, shock horror, actually delivering on their pre election promises. As in, some of the things they've said before getting power, they've done, once they've got in. Crazy, I know. As Nick Clegg will tell you, thats just not how politics is meant to be played these days. Clegg said pre election he was all for free higher education. The minute he's in the coalition, he claims it should now be three grand a year. Higher education fees in Scotland, under Salmonds SNP - zero. THAT is why we're voting yes. Do we think independence will instantly deliver a socialist utopia? Pfft, please. It'll be rough for a few years, we know whats coming. But its Westminster who have made this vote a question of voting for habitual liars, or a liar who occasionally tells the truth. If it is a Yes victory, Salmond and the SNP didn't win the vote, Westminster threw it away. Yes or no, either way, theres been a sea change north of the border. This is a constant topic of conversation, and the whole nation has become politically aware to an extent I would never have expected. Either way, I only hope that spreads right throughout the united kingdom, wherever its borders may be come Friday.
