Voices for Scotland

"Scotland means happiness to me, man. Keep with familiar grounds but claim your bold stance."

"Where do you stop the process of leaving? Much better to be in there to negotiate."

"As unpopular as the Brexit is, I want Brexit. We can become a totally, truly independent Scotland. We can start afresh."

"Scotland means strength, wilderness and unity. I think they should do it, go for that second referendum."

"I don’t think we could self-sustain. Maybe one day, but not yet."

"I really don’t know what the future for Scotland is... But I think, really, the union we have on this island is about right."

"I always found the Scots friendly. If Scotland decides to go independent, jolly good luck to Scotland."

"I would agree with independence for Scotland if we can look after ourselves."

"We’ve got an opportunity to be a welcoming, open country, invite people from all over the world. I think, as an independent nation, we could flourish."

"The younger generation want a change. I think they’re looking for a future, they want to see a better future."

"Scotland means everything to me. But because of Brexit and things like that, there’s a lot of uncertainty."

"Scotland means friendly people, being free. We all have issues with Westminster. It’s better to try fix it, but it should be the choice of the Scottish people."

"It’s a survivor, Scotland. It always has been. We've kept going."

"I think it was a biased referendum."

"(Scotland) is very welcoming. My hope is that we keep our identity and celebrate one another’s culture."

"Brexit may kick off a completely independent Scotland, which I’d be happy to settle for, but I believe in larger unions."

"As long as everybody’s voice is heard, that’s what we’re hoping for."

"Pensioners are ruining it for the younger generation, unfortunately, because they’re scared. Scotland's the greatest country in the world."

"Scotland’s got a lot to offer, but I don’t think we are equipped enough. No, no independence yet."

"I’m not sure what I would vote this time. In my heart, I’d like to vote for (Scotland) to be independent."

"Scotland, to me, means home. Good music, good art. For me, my biggest hope’s independence, and I hope that we would prosper in that situation."

"There just seems obvious things that could be put right. The case for independence is stronger than ever."

"I’m hoping for independence and then reunification with the EU, it would restore my faith in our leaders. Scotland means hope."

"It doesn’t really seem like England’s really listening to Scotland, it’s really unfortunate."

"Independence is the best opportunity we have to create a Scotland that works for everyone."

"I want Scottish independence so we can see the self actualisation of our people"

"It's not going to possible to have the kind of country I want for me, my family, my grandchildren with the Westminster government we have."

"I’m retired but I’m working harder than ever towards the vision of what life should be - In a country where people matter

Where no one hungers for food."

"We can do so much better for each other if we are independent."

"Our history has powerful principles which reflect our culture."

"The biggest risk now is sticking with a UK that is mean spirited. What makes sense now is for Scotland to take her natural place in the world, allowing us to shape a forward looking, small democracy which aims to give all citizens the respect and future they deserve."

"Independence for me means a Scotland for everyone shaped by everyone!"

"I don’t feel comfortable belonging to a union with nuclear weapons. Illegal nuclear weapons."

I want Scotland to be a model of decency and social justice, and to be a force for good in the world rather than being dragged into foreign wars.

"Changes are only possible if we have the powers that currently lie with the UK government."

"Well, Scotland is a nation who wants to be a nation and is a nation, right?"

"We should have got the independence way back in 1979. But I think we can still get independence."

"I feel Brit-well, I feel European. I think we should always try and maximise what we share, even if (we’re) not always adequately represented."

"It should stay together like one. You can go much further than when you’re alone."

"I hope it’ll thrive. I don’t think it’s the right time. It might be in the future."

"I’m going to be optimistic and say that the future generations have got nothing to worry about."

"Scotland is my home, it’s a new home. It’s a new freedom, it’s a new life, it’s a new beginning."

"I think Scotland’s much better as part of a much bigger nation state. I’m not sure it’s got the political clout to develop independently."

"I’m very much Scottish, but I’m also British. I voted to remain within the United Kingdom and I would vote the same way again."

"The United Kingdom has certainly shown itself incapable of solving problems. Scotland has the mindset that would allow us to address them properly."
