WEBJan 14, 2021 — The integrity of a nation 369. Posted on January 14, 2021 by Robin McAlpine.

However, I am sure if it all went to plan, Westminster would still say: “That’s all very well, but, Holyrood is a devolved assembly and we still call the shots.” Better for the pro-Independence parties to all resign their Westminster seats, and have the by-election on the same day, then, when a majority of pro-Independence MPS were returned, they have even-greater right ...
