I guess we can all agree on one thing, and that is Democracy is dead.

Our governments have become more and more Authoritarian over the past few decades. Even having a Parliamentary democracy is a dying art.

How did this happen? Well for a start we, yes we, became disengaged and when politicians realised that, the takeover started.

But, have they gone too far now?

There comes a point when even the disengaged wake up for whatever reason.

First comes the anger, and we are seeing that spilling into the streets. Then, hopefully comes the conscious thinking. Stepping back and asking ourselves, ‘How did we get here?

We in Scotland are fortunate, in that we have an election next year, so now is the time for us to engage in some ‘conscious’ thinking, and we have been given plenty to consider. We just need to prioritise the possibilities.

We don’t have to be stuck on the hamster wheel that is Westminster, we have choices.

Our conscious thinking should be about the journey we are on. There are no quick fixes, only the one at the end. It’s called Independence!

A bridge has been built to help us on this journey….

A bridge that brings different thoughts together, working as one.

A bridge that says Country before Party.
