Independence Progress
A wee birdie tells DGS that the Socialist
Workers Party in Scotland, at an all members aggregate meeting recently, voted
to campaign for a Yes vote in any future referendum on Scottish
Independence. Given the view taken my many commentators on left politics
in Scotland that the SWP were, at best, ‘lukewarm’ towards independence, this
is surely a very welcome development. Apart from a handful of individuals
– a few Old Labourite and CP sympathising revenants – the overwhelming majority
of the Scottish left and certainly all of its most active groupings and threads
are now committed to campaigning for a yes vote in any future referendum.
Well done, comrades. We look forward to campaigning side by side with you to
bring an end to the existing British state, and achieve the full national and
democratic liberation of the Scottish people and, ultimately, the other peoples
of these islands.
