So ah watched Nicola yesterday, an maist o whit she said we've aw heard afore, except fer the bit aboot the plebescite election. That wis the game-chynger fer me, she's never spoke thae words afore, an she wis quite clear whit that plebescite election wid mean, the SNP standin oan one question, "Should Scotland be independent?" an the winnin post wid be winnin the general election in Scotland, gettin 30 seats oot o 59... a win she's awready managed oan the three practice runs in 2015, 17 an 19...
Ah know folk are gettin aw excited aboot the 19th o October 2023, but nothin happened yesterday that made that event any mair likely than it wis the day afore. The Unionists dinnae want it, so let's stand an watch them expend aw their energies oan stoppin it. They'll likely manage it an aw, it's the UK Court, ah mean, c'mon, oor brains didnae aw faw oot yesterday, they'll chuck everythin at it, so it should become clear quite soon that that 'roadmap' is fer a road we're no even oan, we're drivin right up that plebescite election road noo, an that's better, as ah keep sayin, we're only lookin fer the same result that we've delivered three times runnin...
The present Tory Government are content tae change Human Rights we thocht were as 'enshrined' as we could get, an they're daein oan the basis o winnin mair seats than the rest at a General Election. If there wis tae be a Labour landslide, then Kier Starmer could an wid change aw manner o laws, oan the basis o winnin mair seats at a General Election than the rest. That's the British State's preferred metric, Parliamentary sovereignty expressed through the ballot box by FPTP election, an if it's guid enough fer them then we should grab that blunt weapon by the handle...
There is one bit o yesterday that's escaped folk's attention though, so far, an that's whit happens the day efter the plebescite election Sturgeon jist made real by talkin aboot in public. Ye see, in another world, the yin where Johnson signs a Section 30 order an everythin's laid oot fine an dandy in a spirit o co-operation an friendship, then the day efter a Yes win at a referendum, they baith stand up an say "That's it decided then", an Johnson adds "It's a fair cop Guv, ye got me bang tae rights"... whereas in the world we now inhabit, this real world, the day efter the next General Election, the day efter a fourth landslide win fer the SNP, the First Minister is gaunnae hae tae stand up an declare "We won, we're independent", an she'll likely hae tae declare that *whispers the word* unilaterally...
The way ah see it we could get oorsels catapulted intae independence in gey short order, an that suits me fine, we're in a grave crisis as it is, an under the British it's only guaranteed tae get worse.
