Yes Scotland was the organisation representing the parties, organisations, and individuals campaigning for a ''Yes'' vote in the Scottish independence referendum, 2014. It was launched in Edinburgh on 25 May 2012. Yes Scotland's chief executive is Blair Jenkins, and Dennis Canavan is the chair of its advisory board. Stephen Noon, a long term employee and policy writer of the SNP, is Yes Scotland's chief strategist. Its principal opponent in the independence campaign is known as Better Together. Yes Scotland claims to be "Scotland's largest ever grassroots political campaign".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=JOIN IN )〕 ==History== Yes Scotland officially opened its campaign staff headquarters on 19 November 2012 in Hope Street, Glasgow. The headquarters were open to the public. In March 2013, a number of Yes Scotland activists promoted the movement at bedroom tax protests throughout Scotland. Yes Scotland first disclosed its finances in April 2013, revealing it had taken over £1.6m in donations. In July 2013, the ''Sunday Herald'' reported that there were "persistent rumours" of funding problems within Yes Scotland, and suggested that these were related to Jacqueline Caldwell and Susan Stewart leaving the campaign organisation. The organisation "shared out" the women's responsibilities between other employees instead of replacing them. Throughout 2013, Yes Scotland launched specially targeted campaign groups like ''Veterans for Independence'', ''Farming for Yes'', and ''Crofters for Yes''. In August 2013, the ''Telegraph'' reported that Police Scotland were opening a hacking inquiry in response to a complaint received from the campaign about internal emails that appeared to have been accessed illegitimately and leaked to the media. At the end of 2014, chief executive Blair Jenkins sent a message to supporters to join the Scottish National Party, the Scottish Greens or the Scottish Socialist Party to ensure that campaigners "keep the spirit alive". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yes Scotland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
