A minority government has no clout and no mandate for an indyref. We need a MAJORITY gov, and the only way to achieve that is following 2011 strategy.... both votes SNP. Even if we have a parliament full of independence supporting MSP's, we don't have a majority government, therefore no mandate.

Keith Brown speech beginning 8.48 to 14.12 reminding us that if same % as voted 1 &2 in 2011 had voted 1 & 2 in 2021, SNP would've won a majority. Also Ann Faulds at 1:21:00 to 1:24:22 laying out the legal reasons for 1 and 2. #SNPConference

Well you're not so keen on independence then are you? It's not impossible, we achieved it in 2011 by everyone voting SNP 1&2

What happened in 2011?? Since then people like you have advised on splitting the vote and we haven't won a majority government,with a mandate for an indyref, since! Both votes SNP and we'll mirror the 2011 result and have our referendum..win win 👍

If you want independence, we need to do what worked in 2011, give both votes to the SNP. Winning a few extra pro-independence MSPs by splitting the vote won’t deliver a majority government, which is essential to carry a mandate for a referendum, just like in 2011.

Exactly 👍

🌻Sheila 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺✌️ @sheilzz.bsky.social · 7h

We had a coalition SNP/Green gov,and it didn’t deliver independence.The SNP is the ONLY party that can achieve it.To secure a majority gov with a mandate for a referendum,as many voters as possible need to vote SNP1 &2.We succeeded in 2011, and we can do the same in 2026 if we don’t split the vote.

Broadband infrastructure and internet fall under telecommunications, which is a reserved power of UK/English gov.

🌻Sheila 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺✌️ @sheilzz.bsky.social · 8h

It's against the law for a political party to disguise its candidates as independents with the intention to mislead voters. Such actions violate electoral regulations, including the Representation of the People Act 1983. They should be jailed 🤨

🌻Sheila 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺✌️ @sheilzz.bsky.social · 8h

There were many threats,lies and plenty of scaremongering and skullduggery before the indy referendum in 2014. England can't afford to lose Scotlands vast resources...oh and a place to dump it's WMD.

Yes unfortunately,and another reason why Scotland needs to regain her independence.For instance,Consumption/ Drug overdose prevention rooms, were first proposed by Scot gov in 2016!
Efforts were continually blocked or delayed by the UK/English gov which controls drug policy.

🌻Sheila 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺✌️ @sheilzz.bsky.social · 9h

As above re housing👍.
Scot Gov opposes inappropriate zero-hours contracts,and use policies like Fair Work First to discourage their use in public bodies or by contractors. Employment law (including zero-hours contracts)is reserved to the UK Gov, which limits what the Scottish Gov can do. 👍

🌻Sheila 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺✌️ @sheilzz.bsky.social · 9h

We are👍Since 2007, Scotland has built over 104,000 affordable homes, including 75,000 for social rent, around five times more per capita than England. Scotland consistently leads the UK in social housing delivery.
The AHSP from £596m in 2023-24 to £768m in 2025-26. An increase of £172m👍

Nope, an overall "indy" majority has no clout. We need an overall majority SNP government as in 2011, followed by indyref in 2014. We've had an SNP Green coalition gov...did that gain us independence? Once indy there will be no unionists in our Parliament 😊
#bothvotesSNP for a free Scotland

🌻Sheila 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺✌️ @sheilzz.bsky.social · 9h

SNP achieved 69 seats in 2011 through a strong performance in both votes, they won a large share of constituency votes, and also received enough regional list votes to add a few more MSPs.
This majority allowed the SNP to govern without a coalition and to hold the 2014 indy ref. Should be same again

🌻Sheila 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺✌️ @sheilzz.bsky.social · 9h

@snp.org and @johnswinney.bsky.social know that, hence the partnership with @businessforscot.bsky.social. The SNP need a majority government to gain us our independence. It is the ONLY party that can get us across the line.
All YES voters need to get behind them instead of causing division.
