- WG Saraband says Yes. WG Saraband is an EU National from Portugal who has made Edinburgh his home since 2015 with his partner, a dentist. He is a history graduate, artist and writer of the acclaimed Braw Blether blog that explores Scotland 'as others see us'. WG Saraband reflects on Portuguese parallels - a small European nation and former empire that struggled with political and economic turmoil before realising democracy. With his interest in politics, history and deep love of Scotland (and its weather), Saraband inevitably became involved in the independence debate and civic nationalism. He sees independence as the only way for Scotland to fully realise its huge potential. When the time comes, it will be an emphatic Yes from WG Saraband.

24th episode in a series.
Fantastic video; very thoughtful. Scotland is very lucky and honoured that such talented folk choose it as their home - welcome home
Excellent stuff. You are most welcome here as an independent-thinking Scot.
Great to hear your perspective. Glad you’re loving being in Scotland! All the best
His accent is so interesting. He’s got a real Scottish ring when he says some words.
Edit: he really nailed it on the head when he spoke about, civic INCLUSIVE nationalism
Well thought out & an excellent presentation.
Brilliant! Go Go, nEU Scots, keeping Scotland #UnitedInDiversity!
Brilliant video :)
Just brilliant
very good
Wee Alba Book, newly published by the Alba Party, 9-22, given out at demos. p55
" The plans for how to manage Scottish citizenship were set out at the last ref and still apply. Anyone born in Scotland or born to Scottish parents or grandparents will have an automatic right to citizenship, as will people resident at the time of independence."
Claiming this was the position in the last ref is of course spin lies. Salmond himself would not say this position to me as a caller on his last ref phone-in. The White Paper and Yes policy last time, which the SNP has still never budged from, was a racist shocker appealing to the same type of nasty anti-outsider voters as Brexit. It made citizenship by descent refusable, it made citizenships by birth or residence conditional on preexisting British citizenship.
But that history only matters to defending that I + we were right to vote No because of it. Even if Salmond was not saying the right position then, his party is now. This new booklet corrects the citizenship policy + states the perfect line on it.
But it states it just for the Alba Party. So does the Yes movement agree with it? Do the other indy parties agree with it?
