	Politics \| Flower of Scotland
		The good news is that at last Scotland has a tangible home for the spirit of devolution, one that the late Donald Dewar and many others fought for so long.
		There is valid reason, though, for some complaint: MSPs have already criticised Holyrood's offices for being dingy, the parliament's microphones failed on the opening day, and only yesterday it was found that a high proportion of the seats in the public viewing gallery offer no sight of the chamber.
		At least Scotland's politicians can be applauded for not indulging in the grandiose polis-building that some nations choose to celebrate their coming of age: Islamabad in Pakistan, Astana in Kazakhstan, Canberra in Australia, and Brasilia in Brazil.

	The Scottish Independence Guide - Saor Alba - Free Scotland!
		The left of centre argument for a fairer Scotland reflects the values of most of the people in Scotland and the SNP are right to support that as it continually exposes Labour's permanent lack of vision and political principle.
		There is also the historical and cultural argument that Scotland requires freedom to flourish on a cultural level and that respect for our ancestors and their fights for independence from England should lead us to the logical conclusion that the union is no longer in our interests (if it ever was).
		The signs are that the people of Scotland are getting very sick of all the unionists lies and that is why the Scottish Independence Convention and Independence First along with the Scottish parties can win an election for independence in 2007, if they continue to work together.

	Socialism Today - Scotland's shifting politics

		The movement against attacks on pensions — which produced the biggest strike action in decades in Scotland and across Britain in March — NHS cuts, pay inequality, as well as the carnage in Iraq and the Middle East generally, are still the main issues for working-class people.
		The war in Iraq, which the SNP argues would not have involved Scottish troops if Scotland was independent and had control over defence matters, can be a factor propelling a layer of people towards the idea of independence.

		The SNP has 13 branches which claim to have websites (though at least one is inaccessible at the time of writing), and unusually the branch web designers seem to have been allowed to go more or less their own way and don't even have a corporate colour scheme (this is not, however, a criticism).
		Scottish politics is often discussed on newsgroups such as Scottish culture, Scottish topics and (naturally) Scottish politics.
		Politics is too important to be left to the politicians, and the signs are that it won't be left to them now that the Internet provides a channel for expressing your own opinions.

	Working class politics in Scotland, part one
		Thus, in the opening years of the nineteenth century, "trade unionism and worker politics in Scotland were dominated by the concerns and ideology of skilled, predominantly male, Protestant workers." Their value system was based on independence in the workplace, temperance, and religion.
		Working-class political unrest in the early nineteenth century was therefore a united struggle with the middle classes in pursuit of (partial) democratisation of the British state.
		The attachment of skilled workers in Scotland to the values of independence in the workplace, temperance and religion continued into the second half of the nineteenth century.

	Frontline 16 – Carrying forward socialist politics in Scotland (SRSM)
		It is no accident that the popularity of the SSP is rooted in its class politics, its base in our communities as well as the re-groupment arising from the fragmentation of the old British left and the avenues that opened up for left wing supporters of independence.
		It does mean that if we are serious about an independent, socialist Scotland then we have to discuss how we are going to bring it about and that means campaigning for, working for, arguing for independence and socialism – and we’ll take whichever comes first while struggling for both.
		You see if you oppose an independent, socialist Scotland (overtly or covertly) and still believe in the unity of the British working class then you are waiting for the day of the return of a united, British left wing party.

	H-Net Review: Cynthia Neville on Parliament and Politics in Scotland, 1235-1560 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		In most states in western Europe, representative assemblies were born of a struggle between monarchs and their subjects for control of tax revenues; in some, too, they acquired additional importance when they became the chief venues for litigation among high born subjects.
		Although the estates similarly came to secure an important voice in the conduct of financial and judicial business in Scotland, their genesis was the crisis that followed the death, in 1286, of King Alexander III and the beginning of the struggle for independence from England.
		The personal and political troubles that beset the later fourteenth-century kings might seriously have altered the balance of power between crown and parliament; in fact, until recently, scholars wrote about the politics of the early Stewart period as a time of bitter struggle between a weak crown and its over-mighty magnates.
