There comes a time when the talking ends and the action starts.
No change of any kind can start until we say so. The democratic system we have is not perfect, but it’s the one we must work with…..for now!
Our voice is heard through the ballot box, that is why it is so important that our choices are the right ones for us and Scotland.
For those of us in Scotland, the first thing we must understand is, to vote for an English-based party is to vote for continuity. Whilst all parties must be registered with the Electoral Commission, [which is the English system] it is important that we recognise which parties are English and which are Scottish. Eg. there is no such thing as Scottish Labour!!
What we have to decide is, what our priority is in this Holyrood election. I cannot speak for others; only myself. This is the way I see it.
Our standard of living is decreasing, according to some we are almost back to the 80s!
So, do I listen to a party that offers me what I want to hear or do I heed the lessons of the last GE and look beyond the immediate to the place where the real answers lie……in Independence.
The latter may take a while but at least we will arrive at our destination.
I might be elderly, but I am not stupid…not yet anyway😅.
Common sense tells me to support the people who will work hard to change things.
LS has the work ethic required to make the hard decisions, the necessary decisions. They know what Scotland has and what Scotland needs.
Politicians have added a new word to their vocabulary, they don’t lie, they misspeak!
Well, here are some other words to describe ‘misspeaking’…..
…..and here’s another thing, people who genuinely misspeak, do so by accident……not design!
I am not naive enough to think we can clean up politics 100%, but we can put in a system where lies and corruption are punished and seen to be punished.
I am weary of all the lies, are you not?
We need a government in Scotland that has our backs, we need to rebuild the trust. We need politicians who will turn up every day and do their jobs. Not ones who swan off to book signings and change the rules of transparency because their feelings are hurt!!
We need a fresh start and it starts here…
So, when will change begin………..when you say so!
I am now taking a break until the New Year to relax with family and friends.
Wishing all my friends a peaceful Christmas.
JOAN’S JOURNEY CONTINUES 
A fellow commenter on WOS proposed Sandie Peggie as FM of Scotland for her bravery and persistence in fighting the establishment , I took it one step further and commented on Barrhead Boys Sunday Prism post that Sandie would be an ideal candidate as a msp for Liberate Scotland if she would stand and if she supported independence
Her bravery and persistence in fighting the Scottish Government supported GOLIATH SNHS Fife on women’s safe spaces and her suspension for speaking out against this FORCED lunacy has captured the attention of the media across not only Scotland and the uk but also across the world
Her doggedness and determination to fight against her oppressors and bullies has earned her enormous respect throughout not only her sisterhood where many other females were bullied and threatened into silence but also from men who are also outraged that this deviance and perversion is so pervasive and damaging to the females within their families
Despite massive opposition from the majority of the electorate our politicians are hell bent on continuing with this despicable aberration against our womenfolk and children
With the publicity and support that Sandie’s case has already highlighted it would be a natural progression to align herself with Liberate Scotland to ensure that REAL females know that they have a champion fighting in their corner that if elected would continue to represent them with no quarter given
