Voters in Edinburgh’s Parliament Square tell us what they think about Boris Johnson in Number 10
Agne Zainyte, 23, student
I didn’t vote last time but if he becomes Prime Minister, it would make me more likely to vote for independence.
Laura Hopgood, 36, recruiter,
Boris has a certain presence but as a prime minister I think he will land us in sticky waters. I’m against independence whoever the prime minister is.
David Black, 50, company director
Society is split. Unless the Conservative Party changes its ideology, they’re not going to bring both sides together. I voted yes and won’t change that.
Hamish Allan, 70, tour guide
I’m fed up with the whole thing. I voted no. The question of independence is far bigger than who becomes PM.
Andy Marjoribanks, 59, tourist guide
I’m not keen for independence – I’ll remain a no voter but Boris doesn’t help, and I say that as a Conservative voter.
Michael Grubb, 51, street cleaner
I voted yes and Scotland voted no. I accepted that but Boris as Prime Minister would make me weigh up my options.
Janey Read, 61
I think it will be catastrophic. I don’t trust him. I’m Scottish but I am also British and I’d like it to stay together. I will stay a no voter but I fear others would vote yes with Boris in charge.
Eireann Fletcher, 20, sales adviser
I wasn’t old enough to vote in the last referendum but if Boris Johnson becomes Prime Minister it would push me to vote yes.
Thomas Wilson, 29, musician
I think Boris would be a terrible decision. It would ruin the economy. He wants a hard Brexit and I think that will accelerate independence.
Phoebe Cooper, 29, student
Having someone like Boris Johnson in charge would be concerning. I wasn’t in Scotland during the last vote but I think independence makes sense.
