Yes Cowal Scottish Independence Podcast

More perspectives on the Claim of Right and other Constitutional matters were covered in the TNT show.  Host John Drummond chats with guest Sara Salyers.            

Guests Jenny Eeles and Dr Elliot Bulmer help us look at the options for an independent Scotland's constitution.   In last month's Indy Jigsaw show we looked at the work being done to create an interim constitution for Scotland. After that show, lots of people asked about the Claim of Right, so this month we are carrying on that conversation. What is the Claim of Right?  Is it still a valid argument?  Is it enough for a modern independent country?   Who benefits from having a written constitution? How hard is it to write a constitution anyway?   Join us as we ponder these constitutional questions and more!   Listen to last month's episode here: https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-quwcf-1212be8
