"So what about the #SNP this time? Can they convince enough to turn out, campaign, turn up and vote again? Or will they suffer from being too long in power? But since the SNP have led from the start with neither serious opposition nor strategy, what hope for the also-rans?"

Time for pro-independence parties to tell us why our votes will count

WHEN is a crossroad not a crossroad? When it’s a Holyrood election of course. It would appear that some parties are actually surprised by the fact…

The National

@flup Still hoping my entire country finds a way out of the "United" Kingdom.

If you think you're pissed off about brexit, imagine a big part of your country's choosing not to become independent was the promise of remaining in the EU. And, you know, having your national opinions generally listened to and such (Scotland voted Remain).

Your Right to Decide - Lemmy.World

The inability of successive UK governments to spell out any conditions of another vote is both horrifying and completely unsurprising from this sham democratic union. Our elected national parliament is made a mockery of every time a FM makes these requests and a PM ignores them. And there have been many now. This is an abusive relationship with no way out, we are a being treated as yet another colony of the crown, and the people are suffering as a result Do you think that Starmer gives a fuck about Methil? Do you think Farage gives two hoots about Selkirk?! Or Caol, or Ness, or Dundee, or Raploch? Do you think anyone in the cabinet give a shit about fuel poverty in the richest renewable energy country in the world? Or concentrated land ownership that doesn’t pay it’s way? Or our EU links which empowered small businesses and drove our cultural happenings? Swinney is correct to yet again ask. But we know what the answer will be. When will we, the people of Scotland, be respected?

“Scotland’s political and constitutional status aligns with the established international criteria for recognition as a Non-Self-Governing Territory. The forthcoming petition aims to rectify Scotland’s exclusion from the UN decolonization agenda by formally requesting its inclusion on the list of Non- Self-Governing Territories, thereby initiating the process for Scotland’s recognition as a territory entitled to self-determination and independence under UN oversight.” https://liberation.scot/hidden.html

@alanferrier Wish we'd gone indy. We'd still have a bunch of political problems to deal with but at least we wouldn't have to also cope with those of our nearest neighbouring country as well.

I always find it funny (if a little frustrating) when someone comes out with something along the lines of,
"That [country/state] can't secede from [union of some sort]. Because [said union] doesn't have a mechanism for that."

It betrays both a lack of imagination and deficit in knowledge of history.

Also, humans *invented* these concepts. They are not set in stone. (And even if they were we have invented many ways of changing stone to our needs).

"When the SNP is at 32% and independence 51% at the beginning of the campaign then you don't need to be a strategy guru to know that you have no choice but to double down on independence"
