I've written a wee blog post about the parlous state of #LocalDemocracy in #Scotland. I've also written to the Dear Leader, John #Swinney, in a slightly more diplomatic tone.

Daily Record & Sunday Mail - Scottish News, Sport, Politics and Celeb news [Unofficial] @[email protected] ·Andy Burnham rules out independence referendum until its 'clear' most Scots want one

That would not seem unreasonable, but I suspect the evidence’ required will be one of those waffly, changes every minute things. Just remember ‘The Vow’. I can not see a unionist PM adhering to it when push comes to shove (as it surely will). But maybe a little hope. We do need to work harder to establish a greater consensus though. 52% in favour (last poll I saw is not good enough) - and they will rely on that.

Malta has 68 local government regions;
Luxembourg has 102;
Iceland has 61;Scotland has 32 (and the #SNP wants even fewer).
What the hell *is* wrong with us?
-
If it's the #SNP's view that Scotland would be better served with fewer 'local' government entities, isn't the corollary of that be that Britain would be better served by fewer 'national' government entities?

"By failing Grangemouth and attacking ScotWind, Westminster is turning what should be a high-value industrial revolution into an extracted commodity. Proving once again that the current unionist framework cannot deliver a Just Transition."

#UDI may be a 'drastic move'. But unless the UK government seriously believes we might take it, we have no route at all to #IndyRef2.
-
@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.
-
@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.
-
@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.
-
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? -
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.

Hard to refuse a #BorderPoll in #Ireland on these sort of numbers. Hard to approve a Border Poll without also granting #ScottishIndependence and #WelshIndependence referenda.
Tough choices for #Westminster

Mind blowing mendacity from Labour.

The truth behind Labour's GB Energy.
Will be a bonanza for private companies that doesn't actually generate its own energy...
Scotland gets shafted again too. Lies from Anas Sarwar.
