@radiojammor Yes, this is pretty much what I was suspecting. The #SNP's crazy, selfish, tribal, unpatriotic #BothVotesSNP was really a dagger to the heart of the #ScottishIndependence movement.
They sabotaged #IndyRef2 with 'only SNP votes count to a mandate', and they sabotaged a potentially overwhelming pro-indy majority with 'both votes SNP'.
Tribal politician are the curse of Scotland.

@naefool @Cyclist The BBC's ScotPod were suggesting not-very-seriously last night that he might stand in either Stephen Flynn's or Stephen Gethins' seat; and I was thinking that if he did that and promised, if elected leader, to transfer power to hold #IndyRef2 to #Holyrood, it might well be a good thing all round.

@Cyclist @drgeraint which is why any deal about #IndyRef2 has to be done now.
In 2029, the Nazis will take power in the UK, just 97 years after they took power in Germany. If Scotland isn't out by then, Scotland isn't getting out.

Spotted in "the other place", don't know who created this but it's brutal.

@otfrom @kathimmel as I replied to @drgeraint, that's a good strategy provided they have no plans for #ScottishIndependence. If they want an #IndyRef2, though, they need leverage at #Westminster, which ad hoc policy-by-policy deals won't win them.
-
@drgeraint this is true. But they won't get an #IndyRef2 that way. The reason I think the SNP *should* bring #ScottishLabour into government is that by throwing a few plums to them in terms of ministerial jobs they could get serious pressure applied to #Westminster to get the referendum agreed.
Mind you, I suspect #Swinney doesn't really want another indyref anyway, and that that is what was behind the stupid 'only SNP votes count' nonsense.

We all know that #ScottishLabour are much closer to the #SNP on policies than they are to #UKLabour. So would it be a good thing for Scotland if SNP/ScotLab were to agree a coalition deal in which:
1. ScotLab would support the call for #IndyRef2, but would not necessarily campaign for #ScottishIndependence and
2. ScotLab would get the Cabinet Secretary for Transport, with a remit to nationalise Scotland's buses? -

@IndyRichard Well then, what was that stupid shit about we don't get an #IndyRef2 without an SNP-only majority for? He has personally, deliberately, sabotaged our chances of another indyref, and now he's saying it's urgent?
It is urgent, yes. But the SNP need to get out of the fucking way and let the #YesMovement get on with it, because we won't play stupid partisan games.
-
@Shivviness @HighlandHen @patrickhadfield Well, that's undoubtedly true; but at present the SNP have absolutely no strategy to achieve independence, and, indeed, they've just effectively prevented #IndyRef2 happening in the next five years by their 'only SNP votes count towards a mandate' tactic.

And I see Holly Bruce has now won Glasgow South for @ScottishGreens. I know absolutely nothing about Holly, but two #Green constituency MSPs will shake up #SNP complacency even more, without damaging the pro- #ScottishIndependence majority.
Good to hear @lornaslater saying that there is absolutely a mandate for an #IndyRef2 based on this result.
Edit: also glad to hear her calling the SNP out on their #ClimateChange backsliding.

OTD in 1544, King Henry VIII of #England ordered his army to pillage and burn Edinburgh during the ‘#War of Rough Wooing.’ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rough_Wooing
For some reason, the guid auld folks at @wikipedia decided to include this bit of #history in their “On this day…” articles on the day of the parliamentary election in #Scotland. #Scexit #IndyRef2 #UKpol

Can the rest of the world start a GoFundMe for Scotland to dig a canal along Hadrian's Wall and become a separate island?
We'd include enough for a rubber raft to float TERF-who-must-not-be-named on a one-way trip across to the English side, where she'd surely feel much more at home.

I was Yes in 2014, and still Yes today! Independence is about securing the levers of power needed to harness our own abundant resources and build a fairer, more sustainable society in our own way. #indyref2 #Scotland #ScottishIndependence
