SNP members fear the absence of a coherent policy on currency could sink the Yes movement and accused the party of failing to properly equip them to answer voters’ basic policy questions.
At a meeting of the party’s trade union group on Sunday, members heard criticism of the SNP’s currency plans from speakers including Professor Robert Mochrie, of Heriot-Watt University and Tim Rideout (below), the chair of the Scottish Currency Group.
Members expressed concern they were under-equipped to deal with questions and concerns from voters on the doorstep about currency – with one activist accusing the party of failing to give out fact sheets which would make their jobs easier.
