WE have now reached the stage where any notion of a united independence movement is pie in the sky.
If the row over this weekend’s independence march and rally has shown anything it is that the movement is simply too wide to agree on everything … but that’s not necessarily a problem.
I would not in any way show support for such actions but that does not mean I have abandoned my support for independence or would do so in future if individual independence supporters embraced views with which I profoundly disagreed. It is also a vote for independence. When you vote for the SNP you do so on the assumption – and the promise – that the party will do everything it can to create an independent Scotland, preferably through a legally constituted referendum but through other means ifBut that does not commit to, for example, keeping the monarchy forever. Or to stay a member of Nato forever. Decisions like that will pass to Scottish hands.
They are only too willing to line up with staunch opponents of independence in order to show solidarity with those pouring vitriol on the trans community. The Yes movement currently faces two huge tasks … and achieving a false sense of “unity” isn’t one of them. The fact is that if we don’t have a strategy for actually achieving independence the campaign to do so will wither on the vine. The fact that support for independence is still polling at such high levels is a testament to the power of the idea.
