Scottish Independence Podcasts support Scottish Independence but we are not party political.  The route to independence concerns everyone in the Yes movement and there is by no means consensus on the path that will lead to success.  We will be dropping in on the various party conferences to see how they propose to get us there, starting with the 2023 SNP conference where the independence strategy was a key - and lengthy - debate.

People new to party conference procedures might be understandably confused about the difference between resolutions, proposers and seconders, remits back, direct negatives ... 

In this episode, Indypodcasters Fiona and Marlene attempt to navigate the key parts of the debate up to and including the vote at the end.  Key parts of the podcast are:
