I’LL stick my colours to the mast, right from the start. I plan to be atWednesday for the rally. I hope to be joined by many, many thousands in various locations across Scotland. We did once before, that dark night noting the demise of our EU membership, and at a Hands off Our Parliament event even earlier. Marches, rallies – I’m there if possible.There is an underlying dichotomy regarding democracy within any so-called democratic society.
The clue is in the name: Supreme. Supreme authority and supreme power based in legislation that favours the numerical majority and their belief in the continuity of that “Union”. What a disgrace that, and very particularly Labour in Scotland, accepted that. Who said the parcel of rogues were a one-off happening consigned to history?
That includes using courts. I don’t want to: it takes time, it costs money, but it plays the game, the democratic game. I’ll get a copy of the Treaty and burn it. It’s the same as the rallies. A demonstration of resistance. But I won’t support UDI. Scotland is a nation that wants to operate within the family of democratic independent nations worldwide. We have to regain thatScotland has elected a majority of pro-indy MPs and MSPs.
I have nothing against anyone letting off steam by burning the Treaty of Union, but the fact is that Scots voted two million to 1.6 million to stay in the Union, complete with its Supreme Court, House of Lords, and all.I agree that the Better Together campaign has turned out to be fallacious in major aspects and, with all that has happened since, the 2014 result seems as tenuous and ripe for over-turning as when Australians voted by a 55% majority in 1999 to retain their hereditary monarch.
