THE SNP has received praise for the release of a new video last night, which focused on individuals across Scotland who have moved from No to Yes since the independence referendum in 2014.
Change Must Come features six former No voters – Joseph, Craig, Helene, Eileen, Jenny and Ruraidh – and explores their personal reasons for making the switch to supporting Scottish independence.
Factors such as Brexit, betrayal after broken promises, and feeling misled are discussed in the three-minute video, with Twitter users applauding, and some resonating with, its subject.
Inspirational, futures are born from change.

I was an absolute no, never. I am now Yes. Scotland deserves better than what England deems is in its best interests. The EU will fight for us, the UK will oppress.

Me too, joined the SNP in January, voted No in 2014. Sick and tired of watching Scotland’s views being ignored by Westminster #ChangeMustCome

Mind changed, partner’s too, best mate and many of my colleagues in what was once a very pro-Union city. All #YesNow

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
