A visit to a nearby cinema got me thinking yesterday. I watched a mother give her son an empty bag and point him towards the Pick & Mix! As I watched his reaction and subsequent manoeuvres, I thought, Mum is going to regret this!!

We stand at a crossroads, before us a blank canvas or if you like ‘an empty bag’. Each of us has a picture in our minds of what we would like our country to be like moving forward.

Many of us believe in Direct Democracy, where the People are truly in authority. We are fortunate to be able to look towards other countries and see how they do it. You see there is no, one-size fits all, all are different, so we can pick & mix!!

We can design our own form of Direct Democracy to fit our own unique circumstances and it gets better…..it doesn’t have to be written in stone like British Democracy….we can tweak it if required.

I am at the moment watching a discussion on another platform about the difference between the D`hondt system and the STV and which one would be best for us…..must we choose or could we devise our own? Remember it’s a blank page!!

British Democracy is about control and sadly all the big political parties build their party’s foundations on similar bricks, including some in Scotland. How many Party conferences have you been to where various policies have been passed but never come into being?

Conferences are about ‘window dressing’…..keeping the members happy!

Party Leaders who refuse to listen to their members or even MPs can be removed. Unfortunately for us, we often end up paying a high price first. Our present PM is a good example.

Generally, we in this country are not very good at ‘rebelling’! We tend to wait and do the very “British” thing, wait for the next Election!

Well, that Election is just around the corner. The question that presents itself is, how bold are we going to be?

Will it be continuity…. the same old….or will we take the bull by the horns and for once stand up for ourselves?

If being lied to for hundreds of years doesn’t anger you or our country being siphoned off to big foreign corporations….just what will?

I ask that because without you Independence will never happen. Marches show desire and intent but intent must be followed up by action.

Liberate Scotland has put their intent into action, not just some woolly promise, but real action!

Liberation Scotland has a plan. Do you know of any others? If not, join the one already making waves.
