TODAY is the second SNP Day of Action and thousands of members of the party across Scotland will be out canvassing and delivering leaflets.
There will be lot of talking by members to non-members, especially on doorsteps and at street stalls, and a great deal of time and effort will be spent on helping to educate people about what independence really means.
Nowhere more so than in Aberdeen where SNP members from across the city and Aberdeenshire are coming together to discuss the Sustainable Growth Commission Report.
The event is hosted by Gillian Martin MSP and Doug Daniel, SNP political education convener. Also attending will be members of the Growth Commission Roger Mullin and Kate Forbes MSP, the Minister for Public Finance.
The event is being held in Curl Aberdeen at Eday Walk from 1.30pm to 4.30pm and is open to SNP members. More details, and tickets, are available on the Eventbrite website.
The organisers told us: “The SNP has begun a new conversation about the future – one full of hope and ambition for a better Scotland.
“This conversation is informed by the commission’s report: 354 pages of economic analysis and recommendations drawing on evidence and learning from the most successful countries in the world.
They added: “The SNP is driven by its membership, so now it is over to us all to discuss and debate the findings of the report.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
