DAN Wood rejoicing that explaining why we need independence can be the focus, rather than how we
’s commitment to gaining a mandate by winning a majority of Scottish MPs at the next General Election leaves me both disappointed and unsurprised that the indy can is being kicked down the road again , it would appear members left the arena satisfied that, according to their core party mission, independence is now back on the agenda, upfront and urgent.
But, wait a minute, the party are now driven to achieve the mandate they already have.
As things now appear to stand, which Dan Wood and his ilk seem to accept, those who support independence but not the SNP will effectively be disenfranchised over this important issue for all Scots, and diminish support for independence in the eyes of Unionists. How can it possibly be wise to lose this opportunity to show Scottish solidarity across the board for independence?
So, if the SNP are serious about independence, then let them use their already existing mandate now. Go to Westminster and begin talks. Let’s get the process they think will somehow persuade a Westminster institution avowedly opposed to ever “grant” independence to relent and release we Scots “from the land of Pharaoh”.
