In reply to the discussion: Scottish Leader Nicola Sturgeon Presses For Independence Vote [View all]Denzil_DC
(7,227 posts)I think I'm the only "out" SNP member (joined a couple of years ago, been growingly sympathetic for a number of years having abandoned Labour back in the 1980s and been a floating voter since then) on DU at the moment. My wife's American, and I joined DU out of solidarity during the Obama years.
We have a struggle ahead - both in the UK as a whole, but uniquely in Scotland, where at least we potentially have light at the end of our tunnel. The last few days have seen people I never imagined start to look anew at independence, including some influential Scottish Labour politicians.
If you're interested, dig back in my journal (I just did out of curiosity to see how far back DU had archived my posts, and it goes back to 2015) and you'll find a rough timeline of some of the developments that have led us to where we are - and some extremely lively discussions at times, mainly in the UK Group, some of which now seem disturbingly prescient.
