YES Southside are hosting an online event next Thursday from 7pm to 9pm to hear from representatives of the Constitution for Scotland project.

It’s a free event, but you have to register at Eventbrite in advance, and it will feature talks on the Constitution project and a Q&A session.

It’s bound to be a lively session and Constitution for Scotland actively welcome the participation of all Scots, near or far.

As they state: “The Westminster style of government no longer works for Scotland, but before we leave to join the Commonwealth of Independent Nations, let’s have a well thought out alternative in place.

“A Constitution is a job specification for parliamentarians.

“It sets out the conditions under which the people agree to be governed and defines the architecture of the Nation.

“Such documents are usually the province of politicians and lawyers, but in keeping with the Declaration of Arbroath these fundamental principles are set out here – constitutionforscotland.scot – in clear terms and in the form of a Model Constitution.

“This provides a framework of Articles and Sections each of which is a seamless link to greater detail and then onward links to the Interactive Hub where every citizen is encouraged to post comments, propose amendments to Sections and participate in a voting process which will automatically rank all the amendments by popular vote.”
