註釋
The Scottish independence referendum of 2014 was the most colourful, dynamic, and longest political campaign Scotland has ever seen and which, in
IndyRef to ScotRef
, is lovingly recounted through the experiences of a university lecturer turned Yes for Scotland activist who was inspired to roll up his sleeves and get involved in his native city of Edinburgh. Of interest to supporters of independence and neutral observers alike,
IndyRef to ScotRef
explains how, despite losing the vote, many Yes activists soon concluded that the referendum campaign had fundamentally changed their lives as well as the political landscape of Scotland, and committed themselves to 'get it right next time' it was the beginning, not the end. In the final chapters of
IndyRef to ScotRef
, Peter Lynch analyses the huge political events that have occurred in Scotland and the rest of the UK since September 2014, which have seen the SNP's domination of Scottish politics and Britain voting for Brexit despite Scotland voting to Remain, resulting in the decision of the Scottish Parliament in March 2017 to call for a further independence referendum. With an eye on ScotRef, whenever it comes, Lynch warns 'Yessers' to be realistic and prepared, outlining what must be done to secure a 'Yes' for Scotland.
