Yes Cowal Scottish Independence Podcast

In this thought provoking interview, Marlene and Fiona sit down with data analyst Stuart Donald to discuss his fascinating research on the "union dividend".  Stuart's research delves into the origins of the Barnett formula and even further back to pre war economics to unpack the myths and misconceptions about the financial benefits Scotland supposedly receives from England and how much better off we would be if we were able to make our own political choices.  Stuart also highlights how the Westminster First Past The Post electoral system disproportionately favours the right and disenfranchises poorer communities.  Could Proportional Representation hold the key to a fairer system?   Will independence come soon enough to save Scotland from the demographic time bomb created by Westminster mismanagement?
