I do believe Gordon MacIntyre-Kemp is starting to get it! For years, I've been telling him that burdening the constitutional issue with a multitude of policies was crippling the effort to restore Scotland's independence. He now seems to agree. For years, I have been pointing out that the constitution is not about policies but principles - or "values". Now, we appear to be in accord on this. The answer to the question in the headline - 'Are we getting the messaging wrong on Scottish independence?' - is a resounding YES! If Gordon MacIntyre-Kemp is now starting to realise this, it would be churlish to dwell on the fact that he's more than ten years late.
An invitation and a challenge
