Independence Starts Here

The recent release of the SNP's blueprint for independence, "Raising the Standard", has prompted me to finally start my own independence blog.

Although a member of the SNP, and a past candidate for Westminster, I claim no inside knowledge of the party and the thoughts expressed here should not be construed as being official party policy. They are my policies, for good or ill. All I'll be doing is my best to raise the bar on political thinking.

And yes, I know that last sentence sounded awful pretentious but, hey, a guy's got to aim high. :-)
