"I will be voting 'YES' because Scotland deserves to be in the custody of people who truly care for its future.

Only around one in ten Glasgwegians support the status quo when it comes to the referendum for an independent Scotland a new poll has revealed today. The TNS opinion poll in today’s Herald newspaper shows, that in a three-way choice, almost 40 per cent of people would vote Yes for an independent Scotland and just over 40 per cent want the Scottish parliament to have more powers. Only 12 per cent of people in Glasgow are happy with the status quo.

As the future of our country is debated over the next two years, one of the key reasons why I will be supporting the YES Scotland campaign is to re-energise our democracy and bring decision-making closer to the people it affects. That could not be more applicable than to the energy market.

This week the Westminster government has come under increasing pressure to adopt a new plan for economic recovery - with G8 leaders led by President Obama refocusing on growth ahead of austerity, and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) calling for a change of course.  These calls at a global level have real meaning for jobs and the economy in Glasgow.
