To date 15 or is it 16 now, SNP MSPs have declared they are not standing for re-election next year and there is little doubt that more will follow. Add to that ‘the great unwanted’!….[those who won’t get through selection again because they opposed something or someone!] The number will be higher.
How can the FM stop this domino effect? Is it an SNP problem or just a coincidence? Whatever the answer to that question is we are going to see some big changes in Holyrood next year.
This offers up a chance, at least on the List of not just new faces but also new Parties, remembering also that Ash Regan is not an ‘elected’ Alba MSP! I state that as a fact and not a criticism!
Will Holyrood revert to what it was intended to be, a Rainbow Parliament? Where smaller parties were given a voice!
I have always believed that a country is best served by a coalition Parliament. Scotland certainly was. History shows that too much power in the hands of one Party can lead to totalitarianism with mini Dictators at the helm.
Don’t you just hate it when Leaders use the ‘royal WE’ all the time……especially when thousands upon thousands are taking to the streets to oppose them?
This is how it should be in Scotland and this is what Liberation.scot is all about….Direct Democracy!
Now, let me clear something up regarding Pleblicite elections. Dave was quite right to correct Ash Regan in her assertion that it was she who first brought up the idea, but what was missing from that conversation was, that the 1st Party ever to include it in its Manifesto and officially recorded Policies was the ISP! in 2000……
Don’t airbrush out the truth because if we do, we cannot in the next breath talk about Direct Democracy!
..…..and next year’s election must be about Direct Democracy if we want real change to happen.
The world is changing now almost daily, therefore we the people of Scotland have to make some big decisions next year…..who do we trust to take Scotland forward into the next decade and beyond?
At a time when everything is becoming very secret down south, we in Scotland need to be more open…
So, is it to be more of the same and let continuity kick in or do we have the courage to say…
At least by next year, we will know whether or not the Liberation submission has been accepted for further consideration by the c-24 committee. That alone will be a huge move forward. So please don’t underestimate its importance, because when it does we will be holding a whole new deck of cards in a whole new game!
…..and we need to start gearing up for that now by emphasizing the need for Unity. If Parties won’t do it because of egos, then we the people must do it. Our vote is an individual one and the only person who can decide where you put your X is you!
Our first aim though is to get people to vote in the first place. Politics is a big turn-off these days, so we must give people a reason to vote.
I hope and pray that the UN give us that reason, something that will energise the country once again.
….. and the more people who climb aboard the Liberation train the more likely it is to happen.
The bigger we become the more sway we have.
This train is the only one moving, everyone else is still just talking…..lets make this happen!
Join today!
JOAN’S JOURNEY CONTINUES 
May the Liberation Train, be MORE jam-packed than ‘Standing Room Only’,
with the doors open for many to jump aboard!
There will be no ‘too full’ for our Liberation Train to freedom!
