Sir, Through your pages I’d like to thank all the people in Peeblesshire who voted Yes in the referendum. The Green Yes campaign sought to make the choice about ambition, hope and seizing a unique opportunity.

I’m hugely proud to see such a high turnout which shows that people are interested in politics when it is relevant to them, and I hope as many people as possible remain fully engaged in the politics that affect our lives.

The referendum campaign has brought Greens together with a variety of people from other parties and in recent days we have seen thousands of people across Scotland joining the Scottish Green Party, which shows that there is a real appetite for radical change. It’s never too late to get involved!

I look forward to working with old friends and new to achieve a more equal, sustainable Scotland.

I am, etc.

Janet Moxley South of Scotland Greens
