If Lent is a time for reflection, then in my book, so are forthcoming elections!

We all know what we want but perhaps now is the time to look back for a short period and ask ourselves a Q or two!

Have my past choices, delivered?

If not, then the second Q is, what can I do differently this time around?

Take your time, there is no rush, the election is not until the 7th May.

You have choices, many of them.

How you will vote will depend on your personal priorities. My number one priority is eventual Independence. Therefore it will be for a Party that is walking alongside the Decolonisation route.

Your priority might be different, but there is one question we must all ask ourselves, and that is. Will an English-based party put Scotlands needs first and foremost?

Think also about who runs governments these days. Is it our elected representatives or worldwide corporations? If it is money that makes the world go around, where is that money coming from?

The only thing that motivates large companies is, profits! They don’t make money for us, they make it out of us!

Between Westminster and Holyrood our energy prices could almost be halved but the deals that have been made have only tightened the noose around our necks.

So, when it comes to voting, look around and shop for the best deal for you and for Scotland. Scrutinise manifestos instead of just choosing what looks like a good deal in the media.

Discuss what you want with your friends over a pint or a coffee, because the next couple of months matter more than you think. We either start the change now or we put back Scotlands destiny by at least a decade.

This was an interesting vote on Monday, and even more interesting, was the outcome.

Interesting, but not surprising!

The other day I wrote about Direct Democracy. A number of european countries who practice DD have ‘Recall’ written within its DNA!

I suppose the Q is, why do the SNP and Greens oppose it?

This brings me back to what is wrong with the Parliamentary Democracy system……..they prefer to police themselves!

That is never a good idea!

They say, ‘Who Dares, wins’ ….well if that is true…..who of you dares to vote for real change, the kind that will turn Scottish politics upside down?
