In both 2014 and 2016, I was living in Italy so could not vote. I was fiercely pro-union growing up in the Scottish Borders, interned with Lib Dems at the Scottish Parliament while at secondary school, went to Cambridge for university, social life in London, etc., so felt very connected to being British and Scottish together, as well as European.

I grew up in a scheme in the East End of Glasgow, if you voted anything other than Labour, you were a bit of "a weirdo". I always believed the Labour party done its best for the working class.

I am a Labour supporter who voted No in the first Scottish independence referendum. I have never voted for the SNP and believe a union of equals would make us stronger. But I think I was wrong and would now support independence.
