Where is the democracy for voters of Scotland? – The National

Category: Democracy

THURSDAY was politically a massive day for Scotlands future. First was First Minister Nicola Sturgeon demanding negotiations with Westminster to enable the transfer of powers to Holyrood to allow indyref2 to proceed. This would allow the people of Scotland to decide their own future and return democracy and justice to the people of Scotland.

Next was the Queens Speech at Westminster. The programme for government included taking Scotland along with the rest of the UK out of the EU at the end of January, something Scotland did not vote for.

Thankfully Ian Blackford and the SNP group at Westminster presented an alternative Queens Speech that protected our NHS and demanded the freeze on benefits be ended immediately and the roll-out of Universal Credit be halted immediately, issues that affect so many vulnerable and needy on a daily basis.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson is someone Scotland did not vote for, in fact we categorically rejected his party at the recent election in Scotland. Where is the justice and democracy for the voters of Scotland?
