GLASGOW, SCOTLAND ¨C An independent parliament in waiting, Edinburgh¡¯s devolved Holyrood legislature will become the beating heart of Scotland¡¯s democracy if the country backs itself and votes yes in September¡¯s independence referendum.
There is certainly no logical reason why a rich, naturally left-of-center country like Scotland would vote against the best interests of the majority of those who call it home, to pursue the right-wing future offered by both Westminster parties.
For Scotland, independence is about democracy not nationalism; it¡¯s about righting the wrongs of a country living its life as a region.
