History In The Making

It has been an historic week. The House of Commons voted in favour of electing members to the House of Lords, bringing about potentially a huge constitutional change.

However it may not be the constitutional change in the air as the SNP are still riding high in the polls. Is this partly due to our very own First Minister instructing everyone to vote for them. He is quoted as saying, “There isn't a safe vote for Nationalism. If you believe it, vote for it.”

With such a glowing endorsement, Alex Salmond has been busy deciding how he is going to spend his time when he takes over as First Minister. As well as marching Scotland towards independence, he will retain his seat at Westminster, according to the Herald. Is this to ensure Scotland gets a good deal in both parliaments?

One party not getting a good deal at the moment is the Tories. In a memo published by a daily paper, despite it being eight months old, Shadow Scottish Secretary, David Mundell has criticised the lack of talent amongst Tory MSPs.

However, some people with plenty of talent are those at Independent First who are busy organising their second march, which is taking place on 31st March. If you believe in Scottish Independence make sure you are there. Will there be any media coverage? Let’s hope so.

But one thing is for sure, all this and much more will be covered at Our Scotland.
