Indeed! After Independence, political parties will change, die, morph into new parties. Maybe Some SNP and Labour join. Maybe Tories die without funding from down south. The difference being that only Scotland and Scottish people will decide!

IT will be “very difficult” for judges to rule that the UK Government’s proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist group was lawful, a leading expert on human rights and protest has said.

“By party, an average of the 1000 simulations predicted that the SNP are set to return 61.5 MSPs, while the Greens return 11”

Vote SNP 1 Scottish Greens 2 and turn that Indy majority to 90+. Put the SGs as the official opposition and boot the unionists out.

Reform sending out illegal election material and Scot Labour sending out dodgy election material as well, none of these parties can be trusted.
Don't vote Labour
Don't vote Reform
Vote for a Scottish independence party to protect all the benefits we have under an indy govt.

SNP are the only credible vehicle to independence. As much as I criticise some of their policies they get my vote. Once free, we will have new political parties to choose from.

SNP 1 Greens 2

Remember voting 1&2 last time resulted in:
Constituencies: CON 7%, LAB 4%, SNP 79%
LIST: CON 39%, LAB 32%, SGP 13%, SNP 3%
If you win constituencies, you lose List seats
In HR26 vote SNP 1 and Scottish Greens 2 for an Indy majority and to keep Deform UK off the List
Vote sensibly not loyally 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Time to pull the plug on the union.
England, and the totally inappropriate Westminster Government, knows that without the wealth and assets of Scotland it cannot indulge in the swaggering vanity projects it loves. It would be poorer and found out for the profligacy it practices. Why else is it so opposed to Scottish Independence
What is unfolding in Scotland, once grasped in full, ranks among the gravest scandals of the modern world. England functions because Scotland has been reduced to a battery, drained and metabolised to sustain another state. 👇

This article clearly shows how poor commentary can be in Scotland.

Murdo Fraser wasn’t elected in 1999, Kenny Gibson wasn’t there between 2003/07.

Brian Adam was a staunch SNP loyalist & a great friend & mentor to me, but sadly Brian passed in April 2013.

Very poor journalism!

On Thursday 7 May, let’s keep Scotland connected to 𝗼𝘂𝗿 Parliament.

🟡 Vote SNP in your constituency.

🟢 Vote Scottish Greens on the regional list.

❌️ Labour in turmoil.

❌️ Reform UK utterly
unthinkable.

❌️ Tories and Lib Dems adrift from reality.

On this day..in 1974

Grenada gained their independence from the UK.

They hold countrywide celebrations every year on this day to remember their struggle for freedom.

Independence is waiting for us, it is inevitable.

Excellent win on the 8th end by Scottish duo Bruce Mouat and Jen Dodds in the curling mixed doubles match against Canada. They are now 6 wins from 6 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Bit if a shock loss of 7th end when everyone was expecting a concession from the Canadians but brilliant result.

Anyone else remember the corporate media permanently camped outside Jeremy Corbyn’s door - often egged on by Labour Together’s scabrous little toadies? Or the tent in Nicola Sturgeon’s garden?

Well done to @scotnational.bsky.social for choosing to publish this.
🚨 This evening, a notice was circulated from representatives of Peter Mandelson, via press regulator IPSO and the Press Association news wire, to all media across the UK

We believe it is strongly in the public interest to publish this memo. This is it in full 👇

Rubbish! And you know it!! The Divisor for all the regions decreases the SNP List votes by 7 up to 10.

In my region in 2021 SNP got 40% of the List vote. 136,825 votes. They were reduced to 15,324 votes because they won 8/9 Constituency seats.

At present SNP are polling 30% for List vote!!!
