As you may already have seen on a certain other blog, I've put my name forward for the forthcoming SNP internal elections, which will take place over the weekend. I'm standing for election to three committees: the National Executive Committee (NEC), the Policy Development Committee, and the Conferences Committee. I've made a video to explain my reasons for standing, which are mainly to give people who broadly share my views on the way forward on independence strategy, and on the need to reverse the hollowing out of internal party democracy (a problem that exists across all major political parties) someone to vote for. The first half of the video explains my thoughts on independence strategy, and the second half gives you an overview of my broader political outlook and views on other policy areas. Some of that might seem like motherhood and apple pie stuff, but in this day and age I'm not sure anything can be taken as read.
Incidentally, if you spot any errors in my explanation of how the voting process works, please let me know so I can correct it. I've done my best to get it right, but I can't be 100% sure on every single detail.
Go for it - gets my vote.
