Hi Akenaton,

It was the antics of The Yes campaign which pushed me over to the other side. I was actually prepared to listen to much of what they had to say and many of them are good, honourable people. However, all the various factions were offering different visions and policies while the views and behaviour of some was quite extreme to say the least.

As polling day approached I became even more determined to vote "No" and it had nothing to do with "the vow", fear stories or any of that nonsense. Besides, the pro Indy people didn't need to take any lessons re scare mongering themselves and were offering unrealistic and wild promises which would have been unachievable.

You can always expect some exaggerations and half truths in an a election campaign but we should all be prepared to accept the result and move on.
