Commendable, from John Swinney

“…there is “no way” his government is “going to go along with it”.

This kind of determination requires courage and risk. The attitude needed when Starmer/Sunak blocked an Indyref, instead of mild acceptance.

Westminster caused this cost of living crisis - and they’re unable and unwilling to fix it.

Independence is how we raise your living standards, grow our economy and make Scotland’s energy wealth work for the people who live here.

For an Indy (not SNP) majority at HR26

SNP 1
S Greens 2

Ross, Sarwar, et al have list seats

Both votes SNP allows unionists in bc the system works that way to prevent a single party majority

The truth is that the SNP don't want to depend on another party for control
