Document Summary

Inst352 lecture 8: voting on a political issue. Graham is returning to edinburgh, scotland, after nearly five years working in australia. While he is proud of his scottish heritage and has kept up with family, friends, and news from his homeland, he has somewhat lost touch with scottish popular and political culture. Returning in july 2014, he is well aware that a significant political event is about to occur: on september 18 a national vote will determine whether scotland is to move toward independence from the united kingdom. Yet in the midst of moving a long distance and starting a new job, graham has not thought very much about this national referendum or the complicated issues behind it. While graham is preoccupied with the mundane tasks of setting up his flat and getting accustomed to a new workplace, he becomes more aware of the debate surrounding the vote for scottish independence.
