I almost Voted Yes in the 2014 independence referendum, but I remember we were threatened with ejection from the EU and I am very pro-European. It was the main factor for me voting No.

My wife and I moved to Scotland in the late 90s as we were fed up with the rat race of London and the southeast. We prized quality of life for ourselves and our young children above the higher incomes achievable down south. It was not easy to leave close family and go to somewhere where we knew no-one, but it was the best decision we ever made.

A new polling and research organisation ‘Progress Scotland’ has been launched with the aim of better understanding Scottish public opinion in the wake of the Scottish independence referendum and the vote against Brexit in Scotland.
