THERE were always going to be a few twists and turns in our journey toand, as conditions change, so by necessity should our approach to securing our goal. As part of that journey we are now in what can only be described as the new “post-referendum” phase of the campaign for Scottish independence and our job is to determine the best strategy to meet these new conditions.
Some colleagues believe making new demands about powers might move us forward; others still believe that the UK might “allow” a referendum. By constantly going over this old ground all we are doing is giving the UK another opportunity to say no. For the first time, in 2021 we secured a parliament with an independence majority, clearly committed to holding a referendum and on the list we even secured a majority of votes for candidates who supported Scotland becoming an independent country. The UK simply ignored that result, summarily dismissing Scottish democracy and instead extended its campaign to constrain and diminish our Parliament.
There will be those who will tell us that we should have known this all along. That we should have had a Plan B which should have been brought in to play much sooner. They are totally and utterly wrong.
