Scotland’s Safeguard Stolen. The Sewel Convention was the safeguard built into devolution,a constitutional promise that Westminster would not legislate in devolved areas without the consent of the Scottish Parliament. It was the mechanism that protected the 74% referendum mandate that created Holyrood. But since Brexit, Westminster has repeatedly ignored that convention, legislating over Scotland’s Parliament even when Holyrood withholds consent. The UK Supreme Court has confirmed the convention is not legally enforceable, meaning Westminster can now override Scotland at will. A clear break from the purpose of the Sewel convention and a deliberate removal of the will of the Scottish people and its Parliament through the Referendum. This can only be described now as a foreign government attacking the very core of our society with the sole purpose of asset stripping our country forever. England is no longer a partner with Scotland It is very clearly an adversary using constitutional biases to overthrow the referendum. When a Parliament created by referendum is bypassed by another Parliament, the will of the Scottish people is not respected. The collapse of the Sewel Convention is therefore not a technical issue it is a direct erosion of Scotland’s democratic sovereignty. ☮️🤔⚖️🌎🤞 Now only independence in FULL can restore Scotland to its rightful place. When Scotland voted for the Scottish Parliament and devolution it accepted and attempted in good faith to work with England so as to create a fair and balanced union. However we have saw successive governments on all sides of Westminster use their power to circumvent this good faith agreement. We now have only one choice full independence from the UK. No devolution no shared parliament full Scottish autonomy is our only path. England having reduced Scottish autonomy by 75% over 25 years taken back control through illegal legislation is all we now need to know. I would call on the international community to support Scotland through this terrible time where our rights are being slashed and assets stolen from us by a blatantly right wing English parliament. ⚖️🌎🤞☮️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤔🤔🤔
