HUGH Kerr, in his Tuesday letter, sums up the views of many independence supporters who are likely to stay at home and not vote at the next…
The reason many voted for the SNP and support independence was that they expected attempts to change the political system rather than work the present one. Different hands on the tiller do not change political direction in the UK, they merely result in a slightly different emphasis and a lot of political window-dressing.The SNP will pay at the next election unless there is a visible change in attitudes soon, and not just more empty rhetoric of good intentions.
. Continuing as has been done since 2014 won’t enthuse independence voters and supporters. A new approach is required.I COULDN’T agree more with Hugh Kerr in his critique of Tommy Sheppard’s article in Sunday’s National. I find it astonishing that one of our MPs is suggesting that the forthcoming election must be more than a de facto referendum on independence.
If the First Minister genuinely believes that the next General Election is the independence General Election, then he must spell out how he will deliver independence if the UK Government will not cooperate. He should be mindful that “delivery” means that he can do so without the UK Government’s consent.There needs to be an immediate change of mindset in the SNP. For the next 15 months we must be a truly national party announcing polices which have the widest possible appeal to the electorate.
Since the 2014 referendum I have frankly lost count of the number of marches which have been held, mainly under the AUOB umbrella. They need to be seen for what they are – a chance for mainly like-minded folk to get together and reassure each other that they are not alone. It does no-one any good to inflate the number of those in attendance.
