Salmond told Holyrood; “Scotland has not failed – its leadership has failed.’ And the Scottish press / mainstream media has also failed Scotland

When Alex Salmond, the former First Minister of Scotland, gave evidence at the ‘Sturgeon-gate’ inquiry into the Scot-Govt’s ‘biased and botched’ handling of sexual misconduct allegations, he told Holyrood MPs; “Scotland has not failed; its leadership has failed.”  He added; “The collective behaviour of the Scottish Government has shed a light on a government whose actions are no longer true to the principles of openness, accountability and transparency, which are the core principles on which this Scottish parliament was founded.” He also lamented the fact that no one had taken the blame after the government was found to have acted unlawfully in

With Alex Salmond, it’s simply Common Sense* for a Scottish Independence supermajority

The first thing we did after I launched Scotland’s Independence Referendum Party in April 2017 was to write and publish an Open Letter to the SNP (led by N. Sturgeon) inviting her to form a progressive alliance with SIRP  – so as to maximise the Scottish Independence vote using the otherwise useless 1 million wasted Vote-2 SNP list votes in favour of  our Vote-2-Indy list party. https://bit.ly/3w0sk9G The logic for this was so glaring that even the politically blind could have seen it. But the SNP was then (and still is now) politically blind. The SNP/Sturgeon (lack of) logic was

Scotland’s Independence Referendum Party urges Nicola Sturgeon to form ‘Vote-1 SNP, Vote-2 Indy-list’ voting pact for super-majority of pro-Scottish Independence MSPs in Scottish Parliament – before she’s sacked

  OPEN LETTER Dear Nicola, Five years ago, when I set up Scotland’s Independence Referendum Party (www.SiRP.Scot) I wrote to you with an open offer to the SNP to join us in a progressive alliance to maximise the number of pro-Indy SNP and Indy-list MSPs to the Scottish Parliament. This is because of the thousands of ‘wasted’ SNP second preference votes in the proportional representation system used to elect MSPs to Scotland’s Parliament. As a result of the SNP’s dominant lead in the first-preference vote, the party won most of the constituency seats in Holyrood in 2016. But at the

Vote YES-2 Scottish Independence in May 2021 – and let’s turn the Holyrood poll into a single-issue Scottish Independence election – just like Ireland did successfully in 1918

New Year is traditionally a time for making resolutions.  Scotland’s Independence Referendum Party has already made its resolution – which is to achieve democratic, constitutional Independence for Scotland. The SNP also has this resolution as its number one goal… But you’d have to look hard to find any action on this policy from the leadership of the SNP (with some honourable exceptions) which has mired itself in quagmires of its own making. All the other me-too Indy list parties which came after Scotland’s Independence Referendum Party – set up and registered in 2017 – could have combined to stand on

Lesson of how Ireland’s ‘super-majority’ election in 1918 resulted in its Independence from the UK must now be learned by Scottish Independence parties – including the SNP

In April 1916, Irish republicans launched the Easter Rising against British rule and proclaimed an Irish Republic. In the December 1918 election, the republican party Sinn Féin won a landslide super-majority victory in Ireland. On 21 January 1919 they formed a breakaway government (Dáil Éireann) and declared Irish independence.

UK CBI warns that ‘no-deal’ Brexit bourach will ‘devastate’ Scotland’s economy

Independent analysis shows that a no-deal Brexit could hit Scotland’s economy to the tune of £14bn a year. New findings published by the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) Scotland, reveal that Scotland would be “significantly exposed” to the adverse economic impact of a no-deal Brexit scenario. Tracy Black, Director of CBI Scotland, said this would have a “devastating” impact on Scotland’s economy, with the annual loss of £14bn by 2034 being “more than annual public spending on hospitals, GP surgeries and other health services across Scotland.” Impact of a no-deal Brexit across the UK: http://www.cbi.org.uk/insight-and-analysis/impact-of-a-no-deal-brexit-across-the-uk/ Mark R Whittet, leader of Scotland’s Independence Referendum

Scot-Govt Cabinet re-shuffle can’t solve Sturgeon’s dilemma of when to use the mandate for Scottish Independence, says Scotland’s Independence Referendum Party

The re-shuffle of the Scottish Government cabinet won’t solve Sturgeon’s dilemma of when to use the parliamentary mandate in the Scots parliament for Scottish Independence. Commenting Mark R Whittet (LLB, BA) Leader of Scotland’s Independence Referendum Party (www.SIRP.Scot)  said: “Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP are caught firmly on the horns of a dilemma – ie when to use the majority parliamentary mandate in Holyrood in a new Scottish independence referendum – or run the risk of this mandate expiring in the melee of either a ‘hard’ Brexit and/or a snap UK general election, or both. “If Sturgeon passively sits and

Spain’s extradition of Catalan Independence minister from Scotland under European Arrest Warrant is same sleekit anti-independence tactic used by UK against Gandhi and India

                      Following today’s court hearing on the above in Edinburgh today, Mark R Whittet (LLB, BA) leader of Scotland’s Independence Referendum Party, said:  “Although SNP leader and Scot-Govt First Minister Sturgeon cannot legally intervene in Spain’s anti-democratic European Arrest Warrant against Catalan Independence leader Carla Ponsati, Sturgeon should nevertheless publicly denounce Spain for oppressing the Catalan independence mandate.  “Sturgeon should now  – like Scotland’s Independence Referendum Party –  draw the very clear parallel conclusion with Westminster’s delaying tactic in preventing Scotland  from holding the Brexit-changed Scottish Independence Referendum-2, which also illegally denies the Scottish Independence
