The SNP’s failure to deliver the frequently promised referendum is without doubt the party’s Achilles heel.

The SNP doesn’t have a strategy for restoring Scotland’s independence. The leadership is desperately trying to conceal this fact while simultaneously making it glaringly obvious.

I will make the case that the generally accepted (SNP) framing of the constitutional issue is wrong and that the obstacles to progress for Scotland’s cause are not what we have been led to believe they are.

Scotland’s independence will not be restored by Westminster. Nor will Westminster provide the means and opportunity for the people of Scotland to fully and freely exercise our right of self-determination.

If the SNP adheres to the principle that the people of Scotland are sovereign, and if the SNP claims to have a mandate from the sovereign people of Scotland, why would Westminster’s consent and cooperation be required?

One of the earliest and most powerful lessons I learned from the 2014 campaign is that there are no definitive answers to any of these questions.

Dangerous ideas

The Scottish Parliament is the only body which can legislate for a proper constitutional referendum. It can only do so by first repossessing the powers in relation to the constitution which were stripped from it by England-as-Britain.

Dangerous ideas

There is no route to a proper constitutional referendum and the restoration of Scotland’s independence through the legal constitutional framework which has developed under the influence of England-as-Britain’s imperative to preserve the Union.

Dangerous ideas

The ‘self’ in ‘self-determination’ refers only to the people of Scotland and not the people of Scotland plus whoever John Swinney invites into what is entirely an internal matter for Scotland.

Nobody is going to be allowed to speak if there is any danger of them stating the truth that Westminster has no legitimate role in the process by which the people of Scotland exercise our right of self-determination.

That Burnham assumes he has the authority and the right to overrule the will of Scotland’s people is unsurprising.

Sooner or later, it all comes back to the constitutional issue.
