Let’s end on a comment that is even more relevant today than it was last week “A country which serves humanity - an end to war and the promotion of peace, safety and humanity for all."

80% of the motivation for the independence movement is driven by equality and fairness, a wish for greater, more transparent democracy, the values of shared wellbeing in terms of prosperity and the environment and internationalism for a better future for our young folk.

However, it seems that 80% of our conversations about independence are arguments amongst ourselves around political differences within the movement and occasional tribalistic policy fights with unionists. My advice is let’s get away from divisive politics, speak to the undecided but speak from the heart and then independence will form the beating heart of our nation and nothing will stop us.
