PLAID Cymru’s newest peer has suggested the SNP should keep Lords membership under review to keep independence “in as many rooms as we can”.
Despite being a sister party to Plaid Cymru, the SNP do not send anyone to the Lords and have historically stoodto create “ambassadors for independence in the institutional heart of the UK”, suggesting there were SNP figures who would be valuable additions.
“Although this is a tactic that might work for us, it may not work for another party - but I do see it as another tool in our toolbox to fight for a fair deal for Wales. I don’t believe in the place, but I’m viewing it in a pragmatic way. The internal process this time around was designed to address the gender imbalance in the Lords and ensure a woman was put forward for membership.
“The other things I’ve done are when I was being sworn in, I wore artificial fur to support animal rights and I took the oath in Welsh.“It’s very small things but the things we have control over, we’re trying to do in a better way.” “My appointment alone has also sparked the discussion again on why we have the place, which I think is good.“It gives another platform for us to be able to raise the cause of independence . I do believe you have to be in there to change things.”
“I believe in independence, but until we get that independence, we have to be pragmatic with what avenues we have and where we need to have seats around the table.”We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
