Out in the streets of Glasgow, on a cold and damp night, a team of volunteer leafleters is led by Alan, a tough-looking joiner. They all want Scotland to stand on its own feet as an independent country, but give other reasons for voting Yes, too. These include getting rid of Trident nuclear missiles and being able to run the NHS better. Cath, who is an NHS librarian, says: “A couple of years ago I would have been an absolute No voter, but I have seen in the NHS at first hand the government that works here in Scotland and the one that is more remote. The difference is really quite stark.”
