Out of interest, why do you think it is relevant to the debate on independence? G Interesting that most have a strong reputation for cheap and accessible drugs! Back on topic. In the squabbling over indyref2, our Dear Leader has said that if she doesn't get her vote she'll make the next Scottish election a referendum on independence and nothing else. Good politics for the SNP I'm sure. But is it any way to run a democracy?
HappyG(rrr) Jul 2022 1:13pm, 13 Jul 2022 42,931 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) In response to Bazo's comment on Politics thread of the SNP being Tartan Tories and Sturgeon's "IndyRef ruse being in tatters", I feel that generally the SNP is a left of centre party, more aligned with Lib Dems and Labour than they are with Conservative policies. Scottish government is a coalition with the Greens, who are definitely left of centre. I don't think the Tartan Tories epithet, which was a 1970s accusation, holds any more. And that the current proposals about how another bite at independence can be progressed seems entirely reasonable. Ask the law courts to say confirm one way or the other if it can be done without Westminster approval. If it cannot, then stand on the single issue of independence in the next general election and Holyrood elections is an entirely open and ethical way to proceed. If they win a majority of seats (again!) for independence supporting parties, then the public have democratically expressed their will. And the process should be allowed to continue, if the country claims to have any respect for democracy. Final point, once we gain independence, Scotland will not necessarily (and I would argue wouldn't even be likely to) have an SNP government. It is much more likely that parties called Scottish Labour, Scottish Liberals, Scottish Socialists, Scottish Conservatives, Scottish Greens, Scottish Communists, Scottish Marketeers or any other party you can imagine, would arise. But wouldn't need the word "Scottish" in front of them, of course. So in fact, the only one that might not exist would be the Scottish National Party, because it would be irrelevant. G
