Issue 67: The Independence Issue
We explore the independence and the left, with positive cases for and against and analysis of whether the left is divided
Comment
Perhaps only a couple of years away from an indepedence referendum, what will the left do? And what should it do?
The Zombie Empire
Tom Nairn takes on Jeremy Paxman’s analysis of the state of British identity in the post-empire era and finds a nationalism that no longer seems to know if it is alive or dead.
Socialism in Democracy
We asked a supporter of independence to outline a positive, left case for that position (using almost exactly the same wording as asked of the union supporter). Stephen Maxwell responds.
Only Political Change Will Do
We asked a supporter of the union to outline a positive, left case for that position (using almost exactly the same wording as asked of the indepence supporter). Neil Findlay and Tommy Kane respond.
Independence and the Left
Clancy McMahon explores the generally-accepted view that the left is split on the subject of independence. While he finds clear differences of opinion, the left may not be quite as divided as many assume.
