60% OF SCOTS SUPPORT A REFERENDUM ON INDEPENDENCE

A recent poll in the Daily Telegraph has revealed that 60% of Scots want a referendum on independence. If the unionists were confident of their case (and their recent estimates that only a quarter of Scots actualy want independence) they would be happy to grant one.

In actual fact they know that when secondary issues are removed (such as references to leaving the UK which suggests a republic or to staying in or leaving the EU) that there is a clear majority for independence and this is why they are running scared of letting the people decide.

A referendum is a matter of simple democracy. It will happen and must happen as soon as possible. The Liberal Democrats cannot block the people on this issue and they will lose votes by trying to do so.
