I don't deny they always put in their manifesto that they support an independent Scotland. But they do little to advance the cause of independence. We're at a point where it's not optional. It's essential if we are to keep our rights & rejoin the EU. As Westminster parties want to copy Trump.

The best anyone can do at the moment is to make lives better in Scotland and show how, with independence, we could do even more. There is no legal path to a referendum at the moment, so we just need to keep the pressure up by electing pro-independence majorities.

I disagree. A thought occurs. So, for autocrats, dictators, and colonies to fall,history shows us that all it takes is 3.5% of the population to wage a sustained movement of civil disobedience In Scotland, that would be just 200K people Now, if we assume that Westminster is never going to grant..

... in the Scottish Parliament could declare we are an independent country. This option has its issues. In that, the UK would never recognise us as independent, and we may fail to get international support. However, if: * We get international support * If we have a large sustained...

... This brings me back to the 3.5% (200k people for Scotland). Sustained activism could exert pressure on Westminster. Just imagine if they proscribed a non-violent independence movement as terrorists. That would inflame things and, I think, give even more weight to our already...

... valid argument. Especially in international eyes. General strikes, protests, symbolic unilateral declarations, and international pressure on Westminster. Given the lack of momentum, even though 56% of the population want independence & that grows when Farage is mentioned, I think the above
