If rumours are true that Liz Truss is considering a law that 50% – 2.1million – of Scotland’s 4.3m registered voters have to vote in favour of leaving the UK, that would be a major step forward. We need to learn from Brexit and the 2014 referendum that not only do we need a better informed and fact-checked debate, we also need a result that people on all sides can accept, and move on. Based on the 2014 turnout of 84.5%, the new rules would require a 60/40% Leave vote on the day – a result that I, for one, would respect. Allan Sutherland, Stonehaven.
