Provisional Government
You | 09.02.2003 15:44
The largest demonstration ever, for any cause, will take place this weekend. People have been left out of the picture. The Government is at its weakest and an election looms, with the Labour Party neck and neck with the SNP.
friends and enemies,
most who read indymedia will be of one type or another, those who wish to change the world for the better, or MI5/Special Branch fuckers who wish to chuck it into thamaldehyde after plucking out all the bits that make life worth living, so to some extent there is no need to preach to the converted, and so you will realize that these suggestions are purely transitional, to turn anti-war antipathy towards the government, into something a little more revolutionary. As the liberal mouthpiece, the Sunday Herald mentioned today, the demonstrations taking place in London and Glasgow are to be the largest since the chartist rally of 1848. These protests, happening across Europe, will have their most important convergence in Glasgow, at the SECC, the heart of darkness for one day only. All this in the run up to the May election of the Scottish parliament, with the SNP neck and neck with the labour party in the polls, and a 6 body anti-war group of MSPs sitting in parliament.
Perhaps now would be the time to attempt to form a provisional assembly of all dissdent Scottish politicos, seeing that everyone is fuckt off with the pro-war monkeys of the British parties? Such an assembly would (by its very existence) weaken the validity of the state-sponsered devolution project and allow for a future arrogation of power. Naturally there would need be a directly democratic basis to such an assembly, but it could provide a stepping stone to greater things, or a spur to more useful, more radical action.
