SNP another step closer to referendum

The prospects of the people of Scotland being given the chance to vote on their countries future has moved yet another step closer today after Liberal Democrat MSP John Farquhar Munro broke ranks with his party leader to call for an independence referendum! He must be brave, as it was only a few day's ago that his so called "great leader" denied that his party would support a referendum. It was during a BBC interview that he revealed his thoughts and actually said "the sooner a vote was held the better". He said that the debate on independence had gone on long enough and it was time to settle it in a straight forward Yes or No question. Speaking on the Good morning Scotland programme, he said "I think the sooner it happens, the better, so we establish a position - clear the air as it were - and we find out whether we are going to go ahead with an independent Scotland or whether the status quo will remain." Now that, to me, sounds like a fantastic step forward! How can Tavish now not let the Scottish people decide when even his own backbenchers are calling for the vote to go ahead? I think recently, more and more people have been speaking out in favour of holding the referendum and in favour of independence, so it's been becoming increasingly harder for the opposition to speak out against, especially when even opinion polls begin to show a rise in support for Scotland gaining independence. It's coming, and it could be arriving a lot sooner than many of us think!
