	Scottish independence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Scottish independence is advocated by the political movement of Scottish people that desires that Scotland secede from the United Kingdom and once again become a sovereign independent state as it was prior to 1707.
		Demands for Scottish independence are based on the idea that Scotland, as a nation with her own strong identifiable culture, separate legal, banking and education system from that of England, ought ultimately to secede from the United Kingdom and revert to the independent status it had before 1707.
		Scottish independence is currently supported most notably by the Scottish National Party, the Scottish Green Party, Solidarity (Scotland), and the Scottish Socialist Party; as well as Margo MacDonald (a former SNP member) and other independent members of the Scottish parliament.

	Scottish National Party - dKosopedia
		The Scottish National Party was formed in 1934 by the merger of the National Party of Scotland (a group of former Liberals and Labourites who favored Scottish independence) and the Scottish Party (a group of former Conservatives who favored Home Rule, ie autonomy within the UK).
		Under Tony Blair's Labour Government, the Scottish Parliament was re-established, and in the first Scottish Parliamentary election of 1999 the SNP won 35 seats.
		The party only won five seats in the UK general election of 2001, and with the emergence of the Scottish Socialist Party and the Scottish Green Party, the SNP is no longer the sole advocate of Scottish independence.

	Swans Commentary: Why Scotland Needs A Referendum On Independence, by Joe Middleton - joemid03
		The Free Scotland Party, the Communist Party of Scotland, The Scottish Enterprise Party, The Celtic League, The Scottish Independence Party and the Scottish Republican Socialist Movement have all also given official messages of support.
		The Scottish Independence Convention, whose meetings IF representatives attend, is also officially backing our pro-democracy march and rally on the 30th of September.
		We believe this is enough to swing the election in favour of independence and is also an amount which is well within the reach of the pro-independence parties.

	Scottish Enterprise Party - Promoting Scotland's Future (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		We however would rather take the view that our position is a radical one capable of seeing and appreciating Scottish issues and problems in their Scottish context and seek to apply appropriate solutions rather than until hitherto having them imposed by fiat or coercion from elsewhere.
		As a new party, we seek to address some of the current issues, and welcome the approaching date in May 2007 when electors will have an opportunity to show their feelings by voting in ways most likely to advance the cause of Scotland's resumption of sovereignty.
		On looking around the Scottish political scene today we see little or nothing to motivate the voters, and plenty to demotivate them as is clearly evident in the low turnout of only 49% at the last Holyrood election.

	21st-century 'Braveheart'
		Moviegoers remember Mel Gibson' epic portrayal of legendary Scottish freedom-fighter Sir William Wallace, valiantly leading his nation to independence in the early 1300s in "Braveheart." Today, using the ballot box instead of a sword, a new leader named Alex Salmond is determined once again to win self-determination for the Scots.
		It also means that minority parties in the Scottish contest -- like the conservatives, who are a very small party in Scotland -- are still represented in the Scottish Parliament -- although they are not represented at all from Scotland in the House of Commons in London.
		And there are some people in the Labor Party who, I suspect, in a situation where Scotland was moving toward independence, would move out of their shells and probably come out as independence supporters.

		Independence First shows that pro-independence Scots are not necessarily members of one or of any political party and that, in pursuit of the main prize, we must all work together to deliver independence in the shortest possible time.
		My party’s vision is of an independent socialist Scotland but we absolutely endorse and promote the right of citizens in Scotland to democratically decide now via a referendum if they wish an independent country.
		It is for this reason that I support the Independence First campaign for a referendum, it is for this reason that all Scots who believe in democracy (whether or not they believe in Independence) should support this basic democratic demand.
