The territory we are in- We have blood & soil unionists across the Westminster Parliamentary opposition to independence.Facts don't matter to these people.The union, & democracy, is in its death throes under a tide of right wing populism, & they want us pulled down into the mire
with them. Far right extremists are on the rise-& Scotland really is not immune. The Brexit bill should send a chill down anyone on the left's spine. And those who were fooled by old positions of the past into campaigning for "lexit" need to rethink, fast,& know that the 2014
promise by Unionist Westminster, that we would stay in the EU is an indy game changer, especially as populism &proto-fascism takes control. Make no mistake- Thatcherism was only stage one in what is to come with Boris Johnston's huge majority.GE2019 is going to have an incredible
impact on Scotland. Workers rights, our NHS, our climate, our vulnerable families and children are going to be negatively impacted, cast aside, crushed.

This is the page we are on.

But we do have power. We have power here in Scotland, in our Parliament, in our majority in
Scottish Westminster and in our politicians who are not the slippery careerists who change position and parties, but who want to tackle inequalities at source and who want to help create a Scotland free of poverty, homelessness, sexism and racism.

The Westminster Tories, along-
side the strengthening of blood and soil, marching, irrational belief are incredibly dangerous.

Of course, the indy movement is not immune from irrational belief. But we on the left of the movement really must ensure all moves by politicians in our behalf are measured by quality
indicators that ensure a better life for all. Quality indicators that ensure everyone has a home, every child lives a valued, safe, happy life from their beginning, all citizens are protected by a welfare state that keeps us safe when we fall, all lives are valued and noone is
exploited. And quality indicators that look at failure in systems, rather than blaming immigration, ethnicity, and origin.

Collectively,regardless of our origins, our talents, our abilities, and because if them, we are strong.

For Equity and Liberty, embracing the Unity of all.
