Speaking at the Scottish National Party’s conference in Aberdeen, SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn described the coming period as the “greatest challenge” the independence movement has ever faced. He said constitutional change is imminent, noting a British Prime Minister who has indicated that Scotland could hold a referendum when its people want it. Flynn added that the party is “winning the argument,” pointing to media coverage and what he called the “panic of unionist politicians.” He stressed there is “no shortcut” to independence, urging supporters to persuade families, friends and neighbours step by step, and said the shift in Scottish public opinion will help the movement finish its “final lap.”
