What!? We can only restore Scotland's independence with the approval of the European Commission, NATO and the White House now!? It was bad enough that we had to satisfy the British ruling elite of our worthiness. Now we have this lot to contend with as well!
Alternatively, we can go our own way and just deal with the foibles, whims and tantrums of the 'major powers' on a day-to-day basis like everybody else does.
A difficult read in that it is both intellectually challenging and a stark descriptor of current reality.
One area of the SNP's current state which needs to be put under the microscope is the make up, role and power of the NEC.
This power structure has caused a disconnect between the ordinary members (who were the decision makers) and the elected members in WM and Holyrood. The resignation of several high profile members in recent times seems to have gone largely uninvestigated. Why?
