Why does Ian Blackford now see Section 30 as the only legal route to indy?

SNP Westminster Leader Ian Blackford rightly stated in The National recently that “we need to exit the UK as soon as possible”, and never a truer phrase was said. However, a headline around the same period offered a quote from Mr Blackford that “we must not break the law”. This apparently was a reference to those both within the SNP and wider Yes movement who advocate the use of a parliamentary mandate as a mechanism for achieving independence rather than via a referendum triggered through a Section 30. While I totally concur with Mr Blackford that we need to be united on the aim of independence, it seems to me there is a dangerous revisionism at work within elements of the current SNP leadership which prescribes a referendum, and only a referendum, as the pathway to this noble end.

YSI convener says young people will take Yes vote over the line

THE SNP’s youth wing will be critical to a Yes win at the Holyrood elections in nine week’s time – despite claims that it’s not working for independence, leaders say. Detractors claim Young Scots for Independence (YSI) is more interested in causes like trans rights than the constitution, with members and office-bearers subjected to personal criticism and abuse on Twitter. All under the age of 30, some members are as young as 14 and convenor Cailyn McMahon says none deserve the flack meted out on social media, often by newly created anonymous accounts with few followers and fewer posts. McMahon, a politics student, says critics also fail to see the graft put in by the nationwide group, which has 99 internally elected representatives across Scotland’s regions – and the asset it will be to the upcoming Scottish Parliament elections.
