Yes not positive
Apparently, No enjoyed a “small majority” in the referendum (although I’m pretty sure that a 10 per cent Yes majority would have been described by Pat as “thumping”).
But that wasn’t the highlight of the article. I was particularly entertained by the assertion that the Yes movement is a great example of “positive, inclusive, modern pluralism”. Would that be the inclusive pluralism that saw JK Rowling abused for donating to Better Together?

Maybe it is the type of inclusive pluralism where any political party that is not left of centre is routinely demonised, despite 15-20 per cent of Scotland’s electorate regularly voting for such parties?
Or perhaps it is the type of inclusive pluralism that results in people who don’t want independence being labelled as traitors?
