In A Nutshell ...the SNP Independence Strategy Debate
Friday Nov 03, 2023
Friday Nov 03, 2023
Scottish Independence Podcasts support Scottish Independence but we are not party political. The route to independence concerns everyone in the Yes movement and there is by no means consensus on the path that will lead to success. We will be dropping in on the various party conferences to see how they propose to get us there, starting with the 2023 SNP conference where the independence strategy was a key - and lengthy - debate.
People new to party conference procedures might be understandably confused about the difference between resolutions, proposers and seconders, remits back, direct negatives ...
In this episode, Indypodcasters Fiona and Marlene attempt to navigate the key parts of the debate up to and including the vote at the end. Key parts of the podcast are:
00:01:16 Humza Yousaf proposes the resolution
00:11:32 Stephen Flynn joint proposal
00:17:22 Tommy Sheppard Amendment A
00:23:22 Tony ~Guiliano Amendments B and C
00:29:43 Joanna Cherry Amendment D
00:37:19 David Buckley - Remit back
00:41:27 Graeme McCormick, Direct negative
00:45:43 Chris Hanlon Amendment F
00:48:22 Mike Russell, speaking against amendments F and G
00:51:21 Tommy Sheppard summing up
00:53:56 Joanna Cherry summing up
00:57:03 Pete Wishart summing up
00:59:37 Graeme McCormick summing up
01:02:11 Humza Yousaf summing up
The full debate can be watched on SNP's Youtube channel here

Doun Hauden - A Psychology of Nationhood
Friday Oct 20, 2023
Friday Oct 20, 2023
In his book Doun Hauden Prof Alf Baird draws on research from colonial experiences of decolonisation to re-examine the question of Scottish Nationhood.
We are delighted to welcome Alf back onto the Mibbes Aye show as our guest this month to take us through the results of his research - described by many as "a lightbulb moment".
So IS Scotland a colony? Well, not constitutionally or legally as Alf readily admits. But is there a social, cultural and linguistic element of colonialism which can affect the mindset of a nation? Alf's research suggests this is very much a possibility and may well have been the determining factor in the result of the 2014 Scottish Independence referendum
The book Doun Hauden is available from all good booksellers.
Sources mentioned during the programme:
A leaflet version of the key ideas funded by the Scottish Independence Foundation is available as a free pdf download
The report "Elitist Scotland" is available here
Information on franchises came from the report "who is entitled to vote"

First Minister Humza Yousaf’s speech from SNP Conference Oct 2023
Wednesday Oct 18, 2023
Wednesday Oct 18, 2023
First Minister Humza Yousaf's keynote speech at his first SNP conference was delivered while his own family members remain trapped in Gaza by the conflict between Palestine and Israel. Against this emotional background his job is to enthuse and inspire not just his own party members, but the wider Yes movement. Did he achieve that? Listen for yourselves and we'll let you decide.
Scottish Independence Podcasts is not party political, but we do occasionally share keynote speeches from a range of party conferences. On this occasion, with a shameful virtual media blackout evident from main stream media, we thought it even more important that we share this speech, as it sets the scene for the independence movement for the year ahead. Please share it with anyone you think would find it of interest.
This is a bonus episode, we will be back with our normal podcast on Friday as usual
