as the core and central campaign issue. Indeed, they must make independence the most attractive option on offer. It must be a rallying call to all those who seek to protect Scottish democracy, now under attack from a Tory government determined to unpick devolution. And ultimately, it must be an invitation to lock the Tories out – because only the SNP can beat the Tories in Scotland. And only independence can banish the Tories for good – a proposition Labour can’t compete with.
Firstly, we should communicate the refreshed case for independence which hasn’t been comprehensively updated since the White Paper of 2013. Readers of my contributions to The National and Sunday National know that I have repeatedly called for the independence prospectus to be published and subsequently translated into doorstep messages and campaign assets.
Secondly, we should resource and mobilise a nationwide grassroots Yes campaign in support of independence and in defence of Scottish democracy, with the explicit aim of growing public support for independence to well beyond 50%. As someone who was heavily involved in the grassroots efforts of 2014, I understand the value of working across the movement.
