If leaders of Independence Parties and other groups lose the trust of their followers then the Dream will die.

One lie is all it takes, I have just been reading about one guy in a big party who has not just walked away from his party but also from the dream of Independence because of the litany of lies and loss of focus.

I was reminded of someone who said to me ‘ it’s not Independence I disagree with.….its knowing who will run the country’!

If we can’t trust the people who lead us…..who can we trust and I bring the same question down to a local level.

I trust the people around me, the political gang I hang out with…..why? Because I see in them the integrity of true leadership. They are honest principled folk with no egos. It’s a respectful relationship that has grown. I didn’t jump into something because of ‘personalities’ I did so because of policies, ideals and above all because of the honesty I saw in them.

We all have our reasons for joining something, but just having the same dream doesn’t always work out if those at the top have added agendas. They can end up dashing every dream.

One lie, that’s all it takes but then to go on lying is indefensible to the point of criminal.

The sad thing is, once they jump they stay off the grid, sick of Party Politics and who can blame them…..once bitten, twice shy!…..for many it has been ‘twice bitten’!

But these are good people and we need them.

They say ‘time heals’ the problem is we don’t have much time. The great sale of Scotland has started, so those who we have lost must somehow find their metal again and seek out those who are true to the dream. If not a Political Party then Salvo or the Liberation Movement,

although both can be done at the same time!!!

We may lose faith in our Leaders but we must never lose the goal.

When one door closes, another will open if we seek it.
