. Really? Do we know what Labour is actually in favour of; how and what will they deliver? We hear every day what they won’t change and note their ability to U-turn without serious challenge from the majority of the media. The sleight of hand, the smoke, the mirrors, make it so easy for Labour to offer unexplained “change”. It’s nothing more change for change’s sake.
It is more than likely that the General Election will be in May of next year to coincide with a variety of local elections in England and Wales. Who would want to risk a local hammering in May with a national replay in, say, October? So what of Scotland? We have options, yes, but will Labour gain inroads, make a threatening return with vague promises? Again. Would two, or possibly three, pro-indy candidates on the ballot paper see both a split and tactical voting keep indy out and Union in? In Edinburgh, we see how one Labour and one LibDem MP reap such benefits.
A vote in the General Election has to be not just a vote for indy, but the statement of intent to open negotiations to quit, just as a majority pro-indy vote inwould. How will that be articulated during campaigns and on manifestos in the run-up over the coming months? To offer change isn’t enough, so can indy messages offer a vision of positive change sufficient to make the indy vote secure?
