'Our goal is to focus the parties on how we can use Westminster to make the case for independence and start the process of Scotland becoming an independent nation following a pro-independence majority'
The organisation proposes that pro-independence parties will seek a mandate from the Scottish people to begin the process of dissolving the Unionwhich proposes using a “double-majority mandate” at the next General Election to trigger the process for leaving the UK.
The four-page proposal takes into account two potential victory scenarios for Yes – a double-majority or single-majority mandate – at the General Election. The single-majority mandate based on winning a majority of Scottish seats at Westminster would also be a vote to begin the process of independence, the BiS proposal states.
Founder of BiS Gordon MacIntyre-Kemp said: “Our goal is to focus the parties on how we can use Westminster to make the case for independence and start the process of Scotland becoming an independent nation following a pro-independence majority. The process in the event of a double-majority mandate that BiS recommends is the re-establishment of the Scottish Constitutional Convention, including all stakeholders based in Scotland, including political parties, trade unions, charities, religious organisations and civic societies, “making it fully open and representative of the people of modern Scotland”.
It continues with this position by stating the Scottish Government “would be legally empowered to engage with the international community”, including the European Union and United Nations.
