Because I’d rather listen to people than politicians
I’m tired of the same old platitudes and sound bites from politicians from either side of the argument. I’m voting yes because the political system needs to change and progressive change always comes from the bottom up – never the top down. I think independence gives us the best chance of change and those in favour of independence are the most active and the most engaged.
