S...ah - where would we be without contradictions??<br /><br />Seriously - I consider myself to be part of the open debate - I am not a zealot that will hang to a particular point of view in spite of all arguments.<br /><br />I hate the idea that the debate about our country should be one conducted between 'pros' and 'antis' - that would seem a monumental waste of everyone's time. Rather, I am committed to careful and earnest discussion of the kind of society that we would like to live in.....and only then should we be making a decision about how best to make that vision happen.<br /><br />I am open to the idea of Independence because I believe in democracy - I struggle with the idea that Scotland makes up such a tiny percentage of the electorate of the UK - thus it is difficult for us to exercise our democratic rights over decisions that could build the kind of society that we might like to see. If there was an option for a massive increase in devolved decision making at a community level within a UK model - then that would interest me greatly. But all I seem to hear is talk of greater centralisation and more power for Westminster?_mattbakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16936194290084196193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-188189946572962276.post-41087940635908144412013-07-02T07:02:02.341+01:002013-07-02T07:02:02.341+01:00There is a certain internal contradiction in claim...There is a certain internal contradiction in claiming to embrace doubt about your destination while unequivocally supporting 'independence'.
