Dave Thompson MSP

Dear Editor

The Referendum campaign was the most profound experience of political engagement I have ever had the privilege to be involved with.

We have seen Scotland’s people involved in democratic politics in an amazing way and this energy and enthusiasm will be used to move Scotland forward.

I am aware that there has been speculation in social media regarding the conduct of the Referendum process. I believe this is a distraction and that we must move on.

I am sure that the conduct of the Referendum was of the highest order and it has brought great credit to Scotland’s democratic tradition.

We know that the promises of “Federalism”, “Devo Max”, or “Home Rule”, given to us were fundamental to securing the NO result.

That is why they were made. The naysayers had no option, if they were to avoid a YES result.

If they do not deliver, it means the 2014 Referendum was won on a lie.

So, let’s get as many Indy MP’s elected next May as we can and keep the pressure on Westminster.

Yours sincerely,

Dave Thompson SNP MSP for Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch
