There is a consensus within Scotland for the need for change, real change.
How we go about this however is an important process, one which must involve the People and yes those political Parties who are serious about Independence. It would be great if all Indy Parties were involved but the reality is, not all will.
This puts pressure on the rest of us to come up with a system that can be unique to Scotland and unite us all.
In the world of marketing strategies car companies are very good at producing new models, even models of new models!… and they market them well.
In the political world, Direct Democracy is no different. Countries using DD have all developed their model, and we can too. It doesn’t have to be ‘one size fits all’! …. and the good thing is it can keep evolving.
At the moment our system is stuck in a rut, and whilst this news is good news, things won’t change….
It won’t change because the present government will use the present system to stop it!
When a party, has overall control it is not in their interest to change the system that put them there.
We all have the same dream but to achieve it we have to learn to be flexible.
Flexible enough to realise there are other ideas and other methods of achieving the same goal. A workable jigsaw of ideas?
Things move slowly in politics but we don’t have much time to play with. Groups of people are starting to talk to each other but are Parties?
Conferences are where decisions are made but the work that goes on behind the scenes starts long before that.
Can we do it…..can we at least try?
Liberation is made up of a mix of people from all Parties and none and stands as a testament to what people can achieve when they lay aside their differences and focus on one thing…..join them today.
