When I started this blog I had great support from a fellow LibDem supporter who had similar views to myself. He wrote a blog too, much better than this one. We wanted two questions on the referendum paper as we felt that was the only way forward for Home Rule, an ideal our party had be striving for, for over 100 years. We also felt the party has lost its way in the search for power. Yesterday he had a shock for all who followed his blog, he was giving it up. He also mentioned that he had thought about sending his membership card back, This is how bad things have got in the party.

Why does the SNP own Independence?
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.
