There is a huge difference between self-importance and self-esteem.

Within the realms of Politics, we seem to have an awful lot of people who have an over-exaggerated sense of their own importance and very few with humility. They prance, or should I say dance around the stage soaking in all the attention that feeds their egos. But the message they deliver is the same old….just sound-bites and repetitive ones at that.

Nothing new, no bold initiatives just continuity, the words may sound new but the methodology beneath hasn’t changed…..its still Westminster this or Westminter that. It must be Politicians who have ultimate power with a quick reference to the People being Sovereign to entice like a spider spinning its web.

Oh, how they love the attention but oh how quick they are to anger when the stage lights go off and any sign of popularity diminishes and another Party gains some traction.

On the reverse side of that scenario are those who have great potential but also have low esteem, the flowers that have yet to bloom. There are a lot in Scotland. Future leaders, gifted people who really do care about Scotland more than they do about themselves. We need to nourish these folk, and nurture them, they are our future.They understand the ethos upon which the Claim of Right was built, they understand the meaning of community and the importance of every individual.

Yes the world has changed since the COR was written but some things never change, the values that are inherent in the people of Scotland still remain. We are a canny people, we are a caring people and we will take these things forward to a new Sovereign Scotland.

The future is bright, we just have to believe it!

Encourage people to seek out the truth!
