Letters: Given the circumstances, support for Yes should surely have been higher

KEVIN McKenna misses the point (“There has never been a better time to call a new referendum", The Herald, May 19). He writes: “Remarkably, support for Yes has consistently held up during a period when it might have been eroded by disillusion”. Surely a more pertinent comment would revolve around why support for independence has not significantly increased. We have a divided and increasingly right-wing Tory Party, struggling with the chaos that is Brexit, and an out-of-touch Labour Party, with its simmering civil war just under the surface, representing the status quo position. In these (worldwide) uncertain and unpredictable times, Scots are not prepared to vote for more uncertainty. . http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/16240843.Letters__Given_the_circumstances__support_for_Yes_should_surely_have_been_higher/
