Seeing Scotland sidelined at Westminster made me switch to Yes
I was horrified by the result of the 2019 general election. Despite good policies that the SNP MPs put forward, they will fall by the wayside as there is only so much 48 MPs can do in the House of Commons
Brexit and Scotland’s handling of COVID made me switch to Yes
Brexit was the lightbulb moment when I realised Scotland’s voice means nothing at Westminster – but Nicola Sturgeon’s handling of COVID made me switch from No to Yes.

Since then, I have changed my mind.
