Dissolving the Union with Graeme McCormick
Manage episode 427309376 series 2362524
Why did Graeme McCormick decide to stand in the SNP leadership contest and why did he then withdraw his candidacy to allow John Swinney to be elected unopposed?
We last chatted to Graeme McCormick in September 2023 about his proposals to dissolve the UK union and how that might come about (you can listen to that episode here https://www.podbean.com/eas/pb-axz4k-14a2c72 )
Since then, Graeme has stood for the Presidency of the SNP but was beaten by Mike Russell. He brought his case to the SNP's independence strategy conference which Humza Yousaf held and most recently, announced his intention to stand in the latest SNP leadership contest. In the event, John Swinney was elected unopposed.
But just why did Graeme withdraw his candidacy? And where does he think the independence campaign needs to go next?
This is a podcast version of an episode of the TNT show on Independence Live's Youtube channel. As a live broadcast, their episode was plagued with technical issues which we have edited out.
