YES NO MAYBE

 

It is not about the pound.
It is not about loyalty.
It is not about whinging.
It is not about loving Alex.
It is not about Labour.
It is not about Conservatives.
It is not about Liberal Democrats.
It is not about supporting the SNP.
It is not about north sea oil.
It is not about electricity, gas or wind energy.
It is not about David Cameron.
It is not about the recession.
It is not about cultural differences.
It is not about the bankers and bonuses.
It is not about in or out of the EU.
It is not about in or out of NATO.
It is not about the NHS.
It is not about do we or do we not have nukes.
It is not about the defense of the realm.
It is not about settling old scores.
It is not about care of the elderly.
It is not about education.
It is not about a fairer society.
It is not about housing.
It is about YOU.
It is about EVERYTHING.
It is about DEMOCRACY.
It is about THE FUTURE.
It is ABOUT TIME.
