WHAT’S changed since the summer of 2014?
The diary this month is as busy: a regular monthly meeting, some leafleting, a stall, a march, and a one-off evening event. The message, dare I say it, from what is loosely called “the movement” is still the same:. But from 2014 to now, neither our pro-indy politicians nor the indy movement have persuaded sufficient number of our fellow voters to support indy.
Each and every one of us must, by very virtue of being individuals, have varying “visions” that we want in our independent nation. Mine might be a republic, yours a slimmed-down monarchy. I might want more and more wind turbines, everywhere: land- and sea-based; you might want judicious siting, preserving landscapes, considerate of birdlife and noise pollution. And so on.
The indy movement can’t win the extra support on its own. All of us will continue to work away, promoting the visionary aspects that can be translated into reality in a renewed indy Scotland. We’ll march, leaflet, meet, stand with stalls, debate, but without some form of political unity, we will continue to be picked off.my vote, since it’s they who have made the improbable seem possible.
If it’s international recognition we require, then we have to make every democratic vote shout independence. Every pro-indy party standing in any election from now onwards has to state that voting for them is voting for an independent Scotland. That way, the people speak, irrespective of party, irrespective of numbers here and across the UK. Without this, our votes will continue to be mere fodder in a sham process stacked against us.
