Also, I'm guessing there will be a lot of poor pronunciations. 2 I've picked up on is "Michael" instead of "Micheal" and the occasional Fine "GARL"

Our issue in Scotland right now is many pro-Remain pro-Indy voters are remaining on the pro-Indyref2 side, however pro-Remain anti-Indy and pro-Leave pro-Indy supporters are both on the wall. Many of them want to see the outcome of Brexit. Pro-Leave voters in particular want to see how things turn out with the Single Market, leaving the single market could swing them to prefer the EU over the UK; the same is true for Remainers. Proving to Leave voters that the EU costs Scotland less and is more democratic than the UK (which it is for both); whilst letting Remain campaigners know Scotland will be able to rejoin the EU relatively quickly (which it will), then we can easily win them over.

Interesting effect on subject matter when compressed: actually some clarity emerges. The presentation seems even handed, although some might disagree. When standing back, the view appears to support centrist approaches. The nearer to center a party achieves, the better they do in the polls. But the instinct has been to pull right or left. All parties can claim originality, all can say they resolve issues. But the ones going for inclusivity usually win the day. It is easier to tear down an opponents reputation than it is to build your own on merit. The Republic deserves a better life, just like the rest of the world. Maybe the elected officials could watch this (over the protestations of all) and benefit from building consensus. Not as much bombast as the past approaches, but more effective.
