THREE LINE MANIFESTO: For Unity within the Independence Movement.

This manifesto calls for a unified, strategic approach to securing Scotland's independence. It is a rallying cry to every Scot who believes that self-determination transcends party loyalty. The time has come to recognise that the independence movement is not the property of any political party, but a shared national cause. Divisions weaken us, and unionist forces use them to their advantage. Together, we can amplify our strength, strategically vote for independence-supporting parties, and create a powerful, pro-independence Scottish Parliament. Unity is not an option—it’s a necessity. Scotland’s future demands that we stand together, leaving party politics behind.

LINE ONE: Unite for Independence—Leave Party Politics Behind

Scotland's future should not be tied to the fortunes of any single political party. The independence movement is bigger than any political brand; it’s a national cause that transcends party loyalty. By focusing on independence itself, rather than internal divisions, we unite the strength of all pro-independence voters, ensuring that every voice in Holyrood represents Scotland’s path toward self-determination. Party politics fragments our movement, giving unionist forces the advantage they need to maintain control over our future. If we continue to divide along party lines, we risk weakening the very cause we’re fighting for.

The unionist parties thrive on this division, using it to reinforce Project Fear, telling Scots that the independence movement is fragile and divided. But we are stronger together, and by uniting, we can silence the fearmongers. The stakes are high—if we fail to come together, the union will continue to block progress and drown out the call for independence. Now more than ever, we need to stand as one united front to secure Scotland’s freedom.

LINE TWO: Maximise Pro-Independence Seats with Strategic Voting

The Additional Members System offers us a powerful tool, but only if we use it wisely. Unionist parties have long taken advantage of the list vote, securing seats in Holyrood even when they lose constituencies. For independence supporters, this can no longer be the case. By voting strategically—casting the list vote for pro-independence parties like the Greens or Alba—we can ensure that Holyrood is filled with pro-Scottish voices from both the government and the opposition. 

If we continue to vote down strict party lines, we risk handing more seats to unionists who will fight to keep us tied to Westminster’s rule. The union will seize any opportunity to manipulate the system and undermine the independence movement. But by maximising the representation of pro-independence MSPs, we can shift the balance of power and make Holyrood a true battleground for Scotland’s future. This is how we build the strongest possible Parliament for our cause.

LINE THREE: Let’s Secure Scotland’s Future Together

The future of Scotland lies in our hands, and together, we can ensure it’s one of independence. Every election is an opportunity to take another step towards self-determination, but if we remain divided, we give the unionist parties more chances to delay or block our progress. We’ve seen how Westminster will use every tool available to undermine the independence movement—from Project Fear to blocking referendums. But by uniting as a movement, and voting strategically, we can create a Parliament that fully represents the will of the people.

This is about more than just winning an election. It’s about securing the future of Scotland, where decisions are made by us, for us. Independence isn’t a distant dream—it’s within reach. But it will only happen if we work together and make every vote count. Now is the time to put aside our differences, leave party loyalties behind, and fight for the Scotland we know we can be. Let’s stand together and secure Scotland’s future.

In conclusion, 

If we fail to unite now, we will not see independence in our lifetimes. The political leaders, whether you idolise or despise them, will fall short in delivering the freedom Scotland deserves. This is not hyperbole; it is a sobering reality. The continued fragmentation within the independence movement is our greatest enemy, not Westminster, not the unionist parties. Every moment we spend bickering over party politics is another moment wasted—a moment where unionists grow stronger, bolstered by our division, laughing at our inability to put the nation above ourselves.

Independence is not a game. It is not something we can afford to leave to our children or grandchildren to achieve. The burden must not rest on their shoulders. We have a duty, right here and right now, to bring this dream into reality, not as fractured tribes but as a unified movement. And that means we must all grow the hell up. It’s time to put aside petty squabbles, personal grievances, and loyalty to political parties that can’t deliver us independence alone. This cause is bigger than the SNP, the Greens, or Alba. It’s bigger than personal ambition, and certainly bigger than ego. The independence of Scotland is at stake, and we are all accountable.

So, I ask you—will you allow Westminster to continue pulling the strings of our nation? Will you be content with watching Scotland's destiny slip through our fingers because we couldn’t get our act together? Or will you rise above the noise, unite with your fellow Scots, and demand that our voices be heard? It’s time to take action. Now. For independence. For Scotland. And for the generations that will come after us, let us leave behind a legacy of freedom, not one of failure.
