Quote by Keith O'Brien

Clearly, if it is sensible to hold a referendum on independence, it is crucial that we have one on marriage. It is the only way the country can move forward on this issue. Let all those who have a view on this subject place their trust in the Scottish people and let Scotland decide.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of conducting a referendum on the topic of marriage. It argues that if it is logical to hold a referendum on matters relating to independence, such as a nation's sovereignty, then it is equally crucial to do the same for marriage. By allowing the Scottish people to decide, the quote suggests that this is the most democratic way forward, as it allows all individuals with varying views on the matter to place their trust in the collective decision-making power of the country.

And that creates an extreme idealism that in turn leads to a deep pessimism that you will ever find the right person to marry.
