It appears to be the thing these days in politics, to nick parts of or whole policies from other Parties. If it shows anything it shows that Parties who do this are both lazy and void of original thought.
They scour through Policies as if they are at a Pick and Mix sweetie counter and guess what, they are doing it with The Claim of Right as well.
Even worse there are those who would seek to change the essence of it to suit their own agenda. If you change the ethos of anything originally written then you are no better than those who have broken it before, including Westminster!
Yes, the Claim of Right must be brought up to date to be woven into today’s modern Political system, it is new built upon old. Even Westminster acknowledges that ‘The People are Sovereign ‘ in Scotland even though they don’t practice it!!, neither does Holyrood!
But if we are to change the system to something built upon the Claim of Right as Salvo is doing, then we must apply its ethos as well, and by that I mean the characteristic spirit of it. No individual egos can be allowed to change it.
We the people are Sovereign not Politicians!
If we had the right of recall now, we would not be in the mess we are today.
The most important thing any Scot can do today is sign the Liberation Doc and join Salvo.
Legal documents don’t lie, only those who would seek to hide them and change them for their own agenda do!
