--------------
The Scottish Labour Party leader, Wendy Alexander, says "Bring it on" to a referendum on the question of Scottish independence, supposedly proposed by the SNP (Scottish National Party) yet delayed by the SNP Government of Alex Salmond which seems content to continue to rubber-stamp Scotland being subjected to UK rule.

This 2-part video is from BBC Newsnight Scotland 6th May 2008.

Part 2 is Gordon Brewer presenting and interviewing Wendy Alexander, Leader of the Scottish Labour Party and Labour leader in the Scottish Parliament.

This is part 1 which features a report by Simon Willis.
Questions by Glen Campbell and Brain Taylor.

Peter Dow comments -

Wendy's "Bring it on" to a Scottish independence referendum.

So Wendy Alexander has challenged Alex Salmond to bring on a referendum with a fair question on Scottish independence. Interesting.

Or else what, Wendy? If Salmond doesn't bring on a fair referendum in good time and wants to delay until 2010/11 or wants to rig the question so that Scots can't vote for the independence we want without being seen perhaps to vote at the same time for the Salmond and the Queen that we don't want, then what will Wendy do, what will she say?

Will Wendy now finally find the courage actually to oppose the Salmond-led royalist, fascist state misrule in Scotland? Will she finally lead Scottish Labour to vote Salmond down in a vote of no confidence?
Has Wendy got the courage to bring on an early general election?

Or will Wendy do nothing, as per usual? Will she wait until Salmond is ready? Will she wait until the statutory 4 year term of the Scottish parliament is up - giving Salmond a free ride until then just to keep the existing Scottish Labour MSPs safe with their seats in parliament?

Will Wendy now even oppose Salmond's budgets? Will she become a real opposition leader at last?

Or will Wendy do the same nothing as now when Salmond's no-strings budget allows Scottish officialdom to misrule Scotland with the same cruelty and incompetence as before? After all, for example, the universities and the dentists are still not open to some Scots who need them.

So it is nice that Wendy is supporting the principle of a referendum on the question of Scottish independence.

What is not so nice is that Wendy has yet to oppose Salmond 100% and yet to try to oust him as First Minister.

Wendy has made people sit up and take notice with her "bring it on" remarks. Speaking as a Scotsman, I imagine that Wendy's pussy may taste that wee bit sweeter tonight but what now Wendy? A political honeymoon can only last so long.

Since Wendy seems to be so keen on abstaining on important votes, maybe she can be persuaded to campaign for Labour supporters to ABSTAIN on the independence referendum, rather than oppose independence?

That might work out OK so long as there is no daft 40%-of-the-electorate-must-vote rule like there was in the Scottish Assembly referendum.

@smartwarlord I tried to send you a message inviting you to the For Freedom Forums but YouTube would not let me. It said -

Wendy, Wendy, Wendy... Dear dear. Independence will be the best thing Scotland will ever have, and she was putting the cake into the SNP's plate.

[ScotlandsMessenger]

scotlandizdabest - Lands don't have independence. People can have independence or they can be enslaved.

Who do you want to have independence in Scotland?

The Queen's ministers and officers to enslave the Scots as the do under the UK which is the status quo offered by Salmond's fraudulent "independence" (for the Queen's state) referendum?

Or independence for the Scots?

The royalist SNP have no cake on their plate - only a shite referendum which imposes a constipation constitution.

INDEPENDENCE FOR SCOTLAND !

[textkid1]

scottish yeah british never!!!!!!!!

[smartwarlord]

@ScotlandsMessenger

Resolved. I am a Republican by the way, this illegitimate monarchy has nothing to do with Scotland or even England. a Republic of Alba is exactly what we need.

[Alastairbell]

These scots have had there democratic Right! taken away from them who live in England and wales who was born in scotland that unfortunatly is still part of this failing union thats supposed to benefit scots! So why cant them scots who are in england and wales vote on the scottish referendum and on scottish affairs???? 30,000 votes thats not allowed that would make a huge difference!! WHY????

[akava77]

One thing at a time. Let's get independence first, we can worry about trying to become a republic later.

[Rfc1Darryl]

its the dignity a having the person that the english national anthem is about head of state .. wat a joke, hopefully weer jus taking one step at a time then get the queen n any royal family member to fuck. maybe salmonds jus doin this cause the queen doesn't have much time left .. lets be honest about it

[ScotlandsMessenger]

glasgow1234 - "We" (the Scots) WON'T be independent if we keep the Queen as head of state.

Take a look how 173 Australians burned to death in bush fires this year - by order of Her Majesty the Queen who allowed idiot Oz Greens to fine people for trying to prevent their houses burning down by clearing the bush around their houses.

The Australians, still enslaved to a Queen's state, invited Princess Anne to their memorial service so the same incompetent state will go on killing them.

[glasgow1234]

I really dont care if we keep the Queen as head of State or not. As long as we become Independent.

Take a look at Canada,Australia etc...

They have Queen Elizabeth II as their head of state but she has little say in what they countries do.
