strategy” in any significant way. The resolution supported by delegates to the party’s conference alters nothing. Their message is still that we must give the SNP a mandate to “demand” a Section 30 order. After that, they have no plan. They have no idea what they will do if the response is a refusal, as it is almost certain to be.
In the wake of another Section 30 request being refused – or ignored – the SNP would doubtless come out with the usual stuff about the UK Government’s position being “untenable”, apparently ignorant of the fact that the word means “incapable of being defended or justified”, and/or the fact that the British state is under no obligation whatsoever to defend or justify its actions. There is no such stipulation in Section 30 of the Scotland Act.
Just as importantly, the SNP evidently either don’t know or don’t care about the implications of the British Prime Minister doing the unexpected and graciously granting consent for a referendum. Consent that won’t look nearly so gracious once the small print is magnified to a readable level. Nor have they ever been asked to address the point that requesting a Section 30 order is a denial of the sovereignty of Scotland’s people. It is a tacit rejection of the Claim of Right and contrary to Scotland’s constitution. It may also be a breach of the Treaty of Union.
This is why a manifesto for independence has to start with repudiation of the Section 30 process. But neither the SNP nor any other Scottish party has ever produced a manifesto for independence. Have they ever been asked why they haven’t published a manifesto for independence? I think you know the answer by now.
