Scot Goes Pop: The Final Fundraiser is underway (you can read more about why I anticipate it being the final one HERE) and it's already pretty close to halfway to its target figure of £1700. A million thanks to everyone who has donated so far. Card donations can be made at the GoFundMe page HERE, or if you prefer to cut out the middle-man, direct PayPal donations can be made to my PayPal email address, which is: jkellysta@yahoo.co.uk
The 2021 election already delivered what you would call a pro-independence majority in Holyrood. Since 2021 there has been three pro-independence FM's.
ReplyDeleteWhat has been "achieved" is the SNP confirming the WM puppet parliament of Holyrood cannot legislate for independence referendums (without WM consent) and the SNP / Greens happily accepting that as the end of the matter.
So, what would be the use in voting SNP (or Green) if your only motivation for doing so is Scottish independence?
So what's your wizard plan, Anon? Voting for the far-right anti-independence party Reform, presumably?
DeleteMy motivation for independence hasn't waned despite the brits trying their best over many decades to cause doubt. Best people to govern Scotland are the Scots. Now away and lock yourself in your wee holiday home. Enjoy Hogmanay and Nere'day. 2026 cant come quick enough.
DeleteDifferent Anon here. I don’t think I'll vote at all. My vote is not a hostage to empty threats that THIS TIME WE REALLY MEAN IT.
DeleteSwinney and Flynn have already blown the ruse and confirmed in interviews the plan is to ask for s.30 and hope it works for once. The top secret plan is to let Wee Ginger Dug and the National cry them a river as they continue, quite relived, in devolved office.
Again in 2032, chaps?
No I won't vote for that. I won't vote for Sarwar / Israel / Farage or anything else I despise, either. So I won't vote. That’s all that’s available to me. And 100,000 more of us who reached the same conclusion in 2024.
The responsibility for a plan doesn’t rest on you or me. It rests on Swinney and the SNP. No plan, no vote.
Ach there's always Liberate Scotland!
DeleteAnon at 6.04 Anas and Dame Jackie will thank you for sitting on your bahoukie.
DeleteProves that predicting the future is always difficult. If you think where we were this time last year SNP is looking better as well as Greens. Labour Lib Dem tories and reform are rats in a bag fighting over who can be more right wing. Greens are looking ok. ALBA and your party are wasting time.
ReplyDeleteI rather have a pro-Indy majority with SNP + anyone except Greens. The extreme left are as bad as the extreme right. Centre left or centre at a push please.
DeleteI prefer predicting the past. If you know what happened you can tell people after. It's great
DeleteWhat a liberty!
ReplyDeleteThink you've just tipped IFS over the Edge lol.
ReplyDeleteI think the Greens will suffer when Ross Greer goes on TV and TicTok and people realise he isn't Zack Polanski in any way whatsoever.
ReplyDeleteI think the anti green on here are showing their ALBA right wing tendencies.
DeleteIn other words, the remnants of the Wingnuts.
DeleteWe should get great thunder on board. Shed work wonders with the youngsters.
ReplyDeleteThat's meant to be Greta Thunberg but come to think of it I think she's better as Great Thunder. That would let her claim Red Indian heritage which should be right up her street and give her another cause to get instagrammed about. "No, I'm not the over-indulged over-inflated offspring of a middle-class Swedish media couple but am from a reservation in North Dakota. The camera's on me there, isn't it?"
DeleteIs Reform likely to have enough candidates ready in time for the May election? Or are they going to have to rely on more Tories jumping over?
ReplyDeleteIf there are any candidates who will refuse to swear fealty to KCIII / the UK head of state, then I will consider voting for them. Otherwise, it is likely I will not vote.
ReplyDeleteMy reasons:
I believe Scots have the right of self-determination. The UK state does not accept Scots have the right of self-determination: the UK operates as imperial England with the English constitution of WM parliamentary sovereignty.
Under England's UK unwritten constitution, we are told that Scots require England's MPs' permission to even have a vote on independence. Since 2014 / post-indyref, the SNP has actively promoted this view.
When MSPs swear fealty to the UK head of state they actively uphold this situation of imperial England ruling over subjugated colonial Scotland.
MSPs swear fealty to KCIII so they can exercise (England's Crown in) WM imperial power over Scots in accordance with imperial England's UK constitution.
Thus, so-called "pro-independence" colonial administrator MSPs are part of the problem, not part of the solution.
I am not suggesting there should not be a Scottish Parliament. On the contrary, I am saying it is for Scots to decide what powers a Scottish parliament should have, in accordance with the Scottish constitutional principle of sovereignty of the people.
Reform fascists to the right of me, "oath" obsessives (yawn) to the left, here I am, stuck in the middle with you.
DeleteHmm, vote once for the Scottish Executive, and vote again for more student politics. We are really rather stuck.
