Alan Stubbs Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I've seen the hardcore Yes bois out in force on a few occasions now and I'm not sure the paramilitary route is really playing to our strengths. I can't see a bunch of 40" kilt-wearing old teuchtars and vegan students storming Faslane anytime soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that route has served the cause of independence sooooo well over the years. We can all point out technical breaches of the Act of Union until doomsday, but as far as I recall, we're still part of the UK. In my opinion, any route apart from a referendum will not lead to an independent Scotland. UDI would probably lead to (non-Scots) troops on the streets Legal challenges in the Lord Lyon's court would take years, and would be open to attack along the lines of "The seperatists are just using legal technicalities to split up our lovely UK. No-one really wants this apart from the barrack-room lawyers" In my view, the Scottish Government currently have a mandate for a referendum. We should use it before it expires on 6th May 2021. If we can't win with the current & ongoing clusterfuck in UK politics, we aren't going to win in the post-2021 future anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 But who’s going to be the main driving force for the Yes movement other than the SNP? Who’s the meaningful counterweight to their hegemony*?*yes I’ve read Gramsci and what of it The biggest driving force is not who but what.It will be a hard Brexit and the pandering to the little Englander vote that will foment the independence vote. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
