MEMBERS had a “huge voice” at the
’s South Scotland regional assembly as they quizzed the First Minister on a variety of different issues following his speech.
The First Minister told members during his speech it was the “duty” of those in the region to take the independence case to “every household in the South of Scotland” and get across what the SNP had done locally."rock solid" and has"never been stronger". “So I’m here to listen to the membership, engage with them and we had really good conversations afterward.”Despite the odd interruption from seagulls circling over the venue, Yousaf gave a rousing speech to members and said that independence would be at the heart of the upcoming election campaign.
“Possibly the biggest thing is that it's bringing members together, members have a huge voice and have had a huge part to play, with all sorts of different views, but it feels safe to be expressing those views.” The FM said the movement is “bigger than one party” but added there was “no point pretending” that the SNP wasn’t the “biggest vehicle for independence”.Local MSP Harper said that the event had left members feeling “upbeat, happy and glad” to be engaging in internal party democracy.“I know how it feels when members go to conference because it's quite uplifting, and that is how I feel today and people have told me that this has been great.
