It \u201cdevolves\u201d \u2013 they literally use the word \u2013 power from the centre to non-autonomous entities in Scotland and Wales.<\/p>\n<p>We need a Federal party \u2013 a completely different approach \u2013 where authority lies with the members, and is granted to the executives firstly of the Scottish, Welsh and English parties, and then to the Federal executive, as the members wish.<\/p>\n<p>The current draft reflects the British nationalist ideal that the UK is essentially England and that Scotland and Wales are some sort of add-ons for which special provision must be made. Therefore there are supposed to be Scottish and Welsh subsidiary \u2013 not equal \u2013 parties, whereas England does not have a separate party but is presumed to be the main body of the organisation.<\/p>\n<p>Scotland and Wales are treated separately as \u201cnations\u201d while England isn\u2019t. It is just assumed to be identical with the party as a whole. This is typical of the unthinking Anglocentrism of the authors.<\/p>\n<p>I do not see how any Scot can respectably subscribe to the party on its currently drafted constitution.<\/p>\n<p>I have therefore sent my written suggestion for Amendment to a true Federal format.<\/p>\n<p>This is the original:<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-105481\" src=\"https:\/\/www.craigmurray.org.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-583.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"663\" height=\"279\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.craigmurray.org.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-583.png 663w, https:\/\/www.craigmurray.org.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-583-300x126.png 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 663px) 100vw, 663px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>This is the amendment which I have submitted:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-105483\" src=\"https:\/\/www.craigmurray.org.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-582.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1232\" height=\"356\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.craigmurray.org.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-582.png 1232w, https:\/\/www.craigmurray.org.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-582-300x87.png 300w, https:\/\/www.craigmurray.org.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-582-1024x296.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.craigmurray.org.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-582-768x222.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1232px) 100vw, 1232px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The draft constitution does not include the north of Ireland at all. I do not know if the party plans to operate there. I assume the omission means not.<\/p>\n<p>I would urge members \u2013 not just those in Scotland and Wales \u2013 to support this fundamental change in the way the party is structured. Unless there is a genuine federal structure, Your Party will be dead in the water in Scotland.
