The UK
Government is currently preparing the way for the privatisation of the Royal
Mail.
Privatisation
This,
rather than Scottish independence, is by far the biggest threat to a decent
postal service within Scotland (Indeed voting yes in next years referendum will
likely mean the immediate stopping of the deterioration in postal services
within Scotland).
Deterioration in
service
Royal Mail’s
management has been preparing for this for some time by closing local delivery
offices, ignoring the needs of local communities and vastly increasing the
charges to the users of their services. After all it is being forced to make a
profit and is required to no longer care about anything else.
ignoring the needs of
local communities
In my case
I now avoid having parcels delivered if at all possible as it is virtually
impossible for me to actually get them due to the distance of the new
delivery/sorting office from my house, the lack of public transport to it, and
the cost of having the item redelivered in a way I can actually easily get it.
Do we want the Royal
Mail to go the way of electricity?
Do we want
the Royal Mail to go the way of electricity, gas, railways and English water?
I think
not!

96% of Royal Mail staff have voted against privatisation, yet the UK Government is still proceeding with it. Independence for Scotland will mean uncertainty with power, unlike now we have uncertainty without any. The Scottish Government does not want Royal Mail privatisation but can do nothing about it. Vote YES.
