More and more are seeing the truth - we need to keep repeating it. The trouble is Scotland lacks the mechanisms for popular sovereignty, also known as Direct Democracy. We need to establish political rights for the People including the right to launch petitions, initiatives and referendums, to stop bad laws in their tracks and launch good ones. Switzerland is an excellent model for how this could work in Scotland. Power must be decentralised to the localities and regions so they can serve as a check on the federal government. I'll be writing more about this in coming posts.
Excellent letter Leah, explaining so simply Scotland's predicament and how, within the Union, our country will be stripped of all our assets, and simply be a playground for the rich, while our people become poorer. Why can more not see the truth?
