I realised several years ago that my loyalty wasn't to flawed/fallible politicians or political parties, but to independence & the concept of Scottish sovereignty.
I find it liberating; I can (and have) criticised the SNP & Alba where I think they've made mistakes.

A person's political beliefs are of secondary importance at best. I might not share a lot of the political/cultural beliefs of other independence supporters, but their rights and views are as valid as mine. I want to enfranchise people, even where I disagree with them.
I have confidence in the collective wisdom of the Scottish people. When we make mistakes, and we will, they will be recognised and corrected in due course.
We're going to disagree, and that's perfectly OK. If the 'winner' of an argument is proven wrong, we can fix it.

Why am I happy to enfranchise people that I might profoundly disagree with?
It's a price that's more than worth paying when considering the alternative; increasing interference from a corrupt, cruel & colonial Westminster.
Have confidence in yourselves & those in your community
