Unless the people of Scotland act decisively next May, local democracy will disappear for good. What is happening in Taynuilt, is not a one-off, it is becoming the norm across the land. And don’t think for one minute the Scottish Government is on your side, because when push comes to shove, they will do as they are telt! Douglas Alexander through the Scottish Office will have the final say, and that translates to Westminster!
All of Scotland now comes under some kind of deal…..except a deal with the local people!
Westminster is sucking Scotland dry like a leech, and like any leech, to remove it you must start with the head!
2026 must be about removing Unionist parties from Scotland, then we move on to the second tier, the Devolutionists. And we do that by placing dedicated Independence people in Holyrood. People who will make sure that Holyrood runs in tandem with the outcome of the UN.
The UN can only make a declaration, it is up to the people of Scotland to move on it.
What we need now is…..
The door is still open for others to step up, and speak up for their local communities to bring back local Democracy.
The candidates already prepared to stand with LS have very loud voices and they will be heard, even around Taynuilt!!!
We should be increasing the types of democracy we have not decreasing it. Let’s get back to what worked pre-Union with the Burghs etc.
It’s called ‘People Power’!
The blueprints are all there; they just need modification, and it is ‘we’…..the people, who should be writing the script.
JOAN’S JOURNEY CONTINUES 
I hope that the result in Wales will give Indepence supporters the courage to vote for Independence here in Scotland.
