There is a structural difference to the way English divine sovereignty is a top down distribution of power, whereas in Scotland, the pyramidal hierarchy is reversed; power begins with the many and is distilled to create a leadership / management capable of administering the Nation’s needs, but forever answerable to the Community of the Realm… the people.
I’ll confess, I’m not an expert on Magna Carta and the English Parliament asserting it’s superiority over the crown. As far as I know, that didn’t actually happen. The English are deluding themselves. The Crown in England remains sovereign. The Coronation of an English Monarch sees the head of the monarch anointed with oil by the Church, ( the moment the power and approval from God enters into them).
Yes, granted the role of the English Parliament changed, but it didn’t depose the sovereignty of the Monarch because every Bill, even in the UK Parliament requires sovereign ascent. The Monarchy might be described as a figurehead, but it retains a sovereign veto. The English/ UK Government is also described as “HM” Government, it is opened and closed by the Monarch; the Military is HM’s Armed Forces, we have HM’s Revenue and Customs etc. It is a gross distortion of reality to imply parity between the top down English sovereignty with a Parliament given power, and the bottom up representative style Scottish sovereignty. The respective constitutions were fundamentally incompatible, and remain incompatible. The Treaty of Union CANNOT properly exist without first, and necessarily, suspending the Scottish Constitution. The problem for Westminster is that Scotland’s Constitution is not theirs to suspend. The ruse of Union only “works” if enough constitutionally illiterate Scots can be bribed, duped, ermined, or coerced into going along with the con.
The Unionists endeavour to dismiss references to Scotland’s Constitutional Sovereignty and pay it lip service. Curious however that the new Monarch, sovereign figurehead of England, HAD to swear fealty to Scotland’s Claim of Right. It’s hardly fair to describe his oath to his conditions of employment as “lip service”.
Scotland’s Sovereignty was NOT diminished in any way by the Treaty of Union. That is a lie. Show me the mechanism which allegedly did this, because the Treaty of Union did not. What Scotland did lose under the Union was the process and protocols of government which connected the Scottish people to their Constitutional Rights and entitlements. The Union hijacked the process. Nothing more.
The Sovereign Community of the Realm still exists, the Sovereign Scottish Constitution still exists. All the Union did was pinch the bit in the middle; the process of government, and used process to sever the link between Scotland’s people and Scotland’s power, and insert the Westminster Parliament into the breach, together with an invasive doctrine of top down English divine sovereignty which is irreconcilable with Scotland’s popular sovereignty.
The Union is, and always has been a fallacy, a lie, a Constitutional slight of hand which has survived three centuries through coercion, sophistry and brazen deception. Never ONCE has it boasted legitimacy. I pray with every waking hour that this generation of Scots, my generation of Scots, will return to Scotland the Constitutional legitimacy that was subverted in 1707. The Sovereign Community of the Realm will finally reconnect with the Constitution of Auld Scotland, resurrect the mechanisms of Scottish self Government and boot out the parasitic colonial imposter who has plundered Scotland’s rights and prosperity for over 300 years.
MY COMMENTS
Thanks to Sara Salyers and Salvo/ Liberation at long last these issues are being discussed and examined. The first big benefit of these discussions is the educational benefit as more and more Scots get a much better knowledge of how the Treaty of Union came about. The real bonus is slowly but surely the Scottish Constitutional position is becoming clearer in Scots minds and the by product of that is the increasing exposure of how Westminster has illegally and fraudulently ignored its provisions to allow them to plunder Scotland at will. A time of reckoning is approaching. I am sure the campaign being led by non Party politicians and free of political diversion on other policy priorities will prove a good route much more difficult for outside interference to interrupt. Like Breeks I see hope, and progress, ahead
I am, as always
YOURS FOR SCOTLAND
Beat the Censors
Regretfully there are some among us who seek to censor what others read. Sadly within the YES movement there are sites which claim to be pro Indy but exist to only promote one Party and will not publish articles which come from bloggers who don’t slavishly support that Party to the exclusion of the rest of the YES movement. I ask readers who support free speech to share articles from Yours for Scotland as often as possible as this defeats the effectiveness of the censors.
Subscriptions
Free subscriptions are available on the Home and Blog pages of this site. This allows,for an email of each article to your Inbox and that is now how several thousands get my articles each day. This avoids problems that some have experienced gaining access from Twitter and Facebook. You will be very welcome to choose whatever route works best for you.
Salvo
The work and important development of Salvo has been a beacon of hope in 2022 and as it develops Salvo is creating campaigning hubs throughout Scotland. Salvo will join with Liberation.Scot and as the campaigning arm of Liberation we are looking at very effective campaigns kicking off very early this year and introducing some new campaigning methods as well as those that have worked well in the past. This requires money so all donations to this site, once the running costs are covered, will go to support the work of Salvo/ Liberation. I think you will see it well used and effective.
Liberation.Scot
We are seeking to build Liberation.Scot to at least 100,000 members just as quickly as we can. This is part of our plan to win recognition as an official Liberation Movement via the United Nations. We intend to internationalise our battle to win Independence and through the setting up of our Scottish National Congress will prepare and develop our arguments to win progress in the International Courts. Please help by signing up at Liberation.Scot. It is from those who sign up to Liberation.Scot that the membership of the SNC will be created by ballot.
