Summary

Mhairi Black joins The Bunker to discuss the future of Scottish independence, her party’s ne leader and the quirks of Westminster. Following Sturgeon standing down as SNP leader and Scotland’s first leader, she joins Marie Le Conte to speak about what will come next – and what might happen under her successor, whoever that may be. “If you’re in a democracy and you can’t get a reply from a minister, then your democracy’s not very good.” “I still think Sturgeon is head and shoulders above pretty much any politician in the UK. She understands normal people’s lives, even though she hasn’t been living one.” “I have no doubt Scotland will be independent, it’s not a matter of if but when it happens. The case speaks for itself.” “Westminster is failing us… internationally, there are plenty of examples of what Scotland could be like.” Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/bunkercast Presented by Marie Le Conte.
