SENIOR SNP politicians have set out an alternative path to independence for debate at the party’s conference which includes withdrawing MPs from…
The provisional agenda for the meeting, which will take place in Aberdeen in October, includes a motion which states that a mandate for Scotland to become independent “with immediate effect” will be secured if the SNP and other pro-independence parties secure 50% plus one of votes in a national election.
Writing in the introduction to the draft agenda, Yousaf said he “fully intended” for his proposition to be debated at conference. Speaking at the regional assembly in Dumfries on yesterday, Yousaf said he was “not set” on what his motion would be. “It will absolutely feed into the thoughts that I’ve got here today, and this was the same when I was in mid-Scotland and Fife, that actually in terms of the strategy people are weighing in behind it.”
SNP policy development convener Toni Giugliano said the debate on independence at conference is expected to “surpass” the discussion over an independent Scotland joining Nato which has taken place in the party and will be a defining moment for the SNP.
