Stephen Flynn to warn Westminster can't 'just say no to democracy' over IndyRef2
17.01.2023 - 08:15 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Stephen Flynn is set to warn that Westminster parties have "turned the UK constitutional debate into a full blown crisis of democracy".
The SNP Westminster leader will appeal to Labour and the Tories to "free themselves from the dead end of denying democracy" in his first speech outside of parliament since he replaced Ian Blackford last month.
He will also warn that a "just say no to democracy" strategy is doomed to fail and will see support for independence continue to rise in Scotland.
He is expected to say: "At the Scottish Parliament election, a record majority of MSPs were elected on a mandate to hold an independence referendum.
"In a functioning democracy, the UK government would have accepted that democratic vote by the people of Scotland and agreed to a referendum. Instead, Westminster has turned the UK constitutional debate into a full blown crisis of democracy."
He said that the strategy of denying a second referendum would only drive up support for independence.
Flynn said: "Following the Supreme Court judgement, the SNP took the conscious decision to reflect on the next steps to deliver the democratic choice that people in Scotland have consistently voted for.
"In stark contrast, Westminster has failed to reflect, refused to engage, and won't countenance respecting the democratic rights of people in Scotland. Having campaigned for 'No' in 2014, it appears the word 'No' is literally all the Westminster parties have left.
"But a 'just say 'No' to democracy' strategy is doomed to fail. Not only is it driving up support for independence but it's fatally undermining any remaining case for Westminster control.
"No one is asking Westminster to say 'Yes' to independence but moderate unionists know they need to release

‘The Lost King’ Trailer: Sally Potter Stars In Stephen Frears’ Film About The Discovery Of King Richard III’s Grave On March 24
Leave it to Stephen Frears to make another project about recent British history. But in fairness, “The Lost King” looks like a lighter romp than the likes of “A Very English Scandal” and “The Queen.” It’s not like every film has Sally Potter hallucinating a long-deceased monarch, right? READ MORE: The 100 Most Anticipated Films Of 2023 Based on Phillippa Langley‘s 2013 book “The King’s Grave: The Search For Richard III,” “The Lost King” traces the discovery of Richard III’s grave under a car park in Leceister, and how the Langley’s amateur research led up to it.
