AN SNP activist has explained why he wants to challenge John Swinney for the party leadership...
Graeme McCormick – a reiterated solicitor who has served as Convener of SNP's Dumbarton branch – was at the All Under One Banner march in Glasgow on Saturday seeking to gather the required support to stand for leader.
“Central to the campaign is that a majority vote will result in the SNP MPs being instructed to dissolve the union, establish the sovereign government of Scotland, advise the UN that the union is ended and that Scotland will adhere to the terms of the Vienna Convention on the dissolution of a former state,” he wrote.“The powers of the Scottish parliament continue to diminish the longer the SNP is in power,” he said.
“I believe with all my heart and soul that the SNP can deliver a majority vote for an independent Scotland. The polls for Independence are consistently positive. The SNP has the opportunity to regain its lost support if it promises to dissolve the union through the Ballot Box. No other party can do so.”
He told the Sky News programme Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips: “I think the SNP has got a chance to start rebuilding from the difficult period that we have had, under my leadership, and bluntly, I’d just like to get on with that as quickly as I possible can do, because every day that we spend in an internal contest, which I think we all probably know the outcome of, we delay the possibility for the SNP to start its rebuilding.
