SCOTLAND stands at a pivotal moment in history.
My decision to join the Alba Party stems from a steadfast dedication to the mandate given to me by votershave swelled over the years, stoked by the promise of a future where our country’s destiny is in the hands of the people who live here.
Such ambiguity not only betrays the aspirations of the Yes movement but also risks squandering the mandate for independence that we have all worked so hard to build.My decision to join the Alba Party stems from a steadfast dedication to the mandate given to me by voters – the unrelenting pursuit of independence. In Alba, I find a party that echoes this focus unequivocally. As Alba’s inaugural Member of the Scottish Parliament and the party’s leader atLet me be clear.
As I take up the mantle of leadership for Alba at Holyrood, I extend an invitation to all those who believe in independence to join us in strengthening Scotland’s cause, whether that’s within our party or working in tandem with us. Let’s set aside our past differences and work towards our common goal.
We must also be clear about what would constitute an unequivocal outcome. A high bar that we will aspire to is “50%-plus” of votes using the only gold standard there is – the ballot box. This would be a clear and definitive “mandate to begin negotiating Scotland’s independence” from a Union which has long since served its purpose.
And to those many good and decent nationalists who remain in the SNP, know that you may have lost a despondent colleague, but you have gained a determined ally. Let’s make sure we travel the path that leads to independence, that leads to prosperity and dignity for all who choose to live in this beautiful and ancient country.We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
