If it’s not sleaze, it’s corruption!

A picture of today’s politics covering nearly the whole of the world.

Can we change things in our wee corner of the world?

Well, we could, if we really wanted to!

How?

Well, it starts, note I said ‘starts’! [Rome wasn’t built in a day]……in May this year.

“Gold Standard” means high-quality standards. When did we last see that in politics? When did we last see it in Scotland?

One of the first things that has to happen in politics is, ‘to say what you mean and mean what you say’! Promises made must be promises kept!

LS stands on one Policy, ‘Independence, nothing less’. But they need YOU to help them get into a position where they can use that balance of power to make it start to happen.

As individuals, they also want to restore ethics and integrity to politics.

At the moment, Holyrood is following Westminster’s path, where privatisation is the buzzword. Privatisation is not compatible with Democracy, and some in Westminster are now beginning to get that. They want to ‘tweak’ Freeports……good luck with that one! ISDS will come into play.

May can be the start of something new, but there is a big ‘IF’.

Only if we focus on Independence and move away from Party Politics, I fear, that for some, that will be a bridge too far! For some, independence only means one party.

For this election, we need to put political attachments aside and apply mathematics!

[ get your calculators out!]

We need to unify around the Saltire.

Unity is not about trying to unite with the biggest party. Unity is about uniting the people behind a cause.

To escape the corruption and sleaze we need to start thinking differently.

Think Alliance!
