WHAT DO DUNDONIANS THINK?

I’m from Staffordshire originally and have lived in Scotland for more than 50 years. I voted No at the last referendum and would vote No again because independence is a waste of time. The government should be getting on with governing rather than going on again about another independence vote.

I voted Yes last time and would definitely vote Yes again. I feel the country should be more in control of its affairs. Poverty, low wages and unemployment are reasons why so many people voted Yes. I think even more people will vote Yes next time because their eyes have been opened to the lies.

I voted No the last time because I don’t think independence would be best for Scotland. Was I surprised the way Dundee voted? Yes and No. It’s become a bit of an SNP town. The V&A etc is fine but the SNP council and Scottish Government haven’t changed anything for ordinary people. I’d still vote No. Caroline Houston, 31, support worker, Maryfield.

I voted Yes and would definitely vote Yes again to improve financial prospects. Unemployment and poverty are such big issues in Dundee. We should be able to make our own decisions to make things better. With Brexit I think people are scared about their businesses and more would vote for independence next time.
