I was talking to some folk on twitter last night and it helped to sort my problem of why I was voting SNP. For as long as I remember I wanted Independence for Scotland. I even stood for it in a debate in college in 1968. I lost the debate, Nationalism was not very popular in those days, especially in Aberdeen.
I have never been a great supporter of the SNP except for one policy, Independence. I am much more at home with the Liberals and then grudging the Liberal Democrats. That was until May 2010 when my trust was shattered and remains so. On twitter last night, amongst others, I meet a guy called Andrew and he writes a great blog http://scottish-liberal.blogspot.com/ I thought your views are similar to mine but you stayed in the LibDem party. How many others are there from all parties who want independence who have stayed in their parties or like me who have left and voted SNP but whose's heart is not really in that party. Not as because they are voting as a protest vote but because they want Independence and see no other way of obtaining it.
