Scottish Independence PodcastsIndyref 10th Anniversary : Holyrood Rally SpeechesOn 18th September 2024 we marked the 10th anniversary of the historic first Scottish Independence Referendum, Indyref for short. During a passionate and exhilarating campaign, support for the Yes side grew from around 30% to over 50% before settling back at 45% on the day of the vote. In the words of Professor Sir John Curtace, the Yes side lost the vote but we won the campaign. Support for independence has hovered around the 50% mark for the last decade.
Campaign group Believe In Scotland organised events throughout Scotland to mark the occasion. The mood was reflective, but upbeat and determined. We are S...2024-09-2449 min

Craig recently wrote a paper outlining the possible currency options for an independent Scotland. This is important work because an aspect of the Yes side that was much criticised during and after the 2014 referendum was the perceived lack of a strategy on what to do about currency. I say "perceived" because much of it came down to perception, not fact.

Paul Moss went around #Glasgow to see if he could find anyone worried enough about higher prices that it might change the way they vote in the referendum.
