LORNA Slater has expressed her confidence that support for Scottish independence could be driven “well over 50%” once a second referendum campaign begins.
In an interview with journalist Ben O’Hara-Byrne for Canadian radio discussing the Scottish Government’s recent announcement of a second independence referendum in October next year, the Canadian-born Scottish Green minister reflected on the 2014 vote and said: “When that referendum was called, when it was announced, support for independence was only at 27%. During that campaign… the campaigners drove that support to 45% - that’s a huge increase.
