INDEPENDENCE FIRST ELECTS NEW OFFICE BEARERS – CAMPAIGN IS GROWING FAST SAYS NEW CONVENER

At a recent Meeting of Independence First (www.independence1st.com) the national campaign for a referendum on Scottish independence, two new office bearers were elected.

Neil Caple is now the honorary Convener, while Joe Middleton was elected Press Officer for the campaign.

NEIL CAPLE said

“I am very pleased to take up this position. Even though our campaign was only launched two months ago our membership is growing fast.”

“We have received supportive messages from Scottish Green Party, Scottish Socialist Party and Scottish National Party MSP’s and from the Free Scotland Party and the Scottish Independence Party.

“Recent polls suggest that a majority of the Scottish public support independence. Independence First wants to give the people the opportunity to express that support in a referendum.”

JOE MIDDLETON said

“We are basically trying to achieve as broad a consensus as possible for independence. Under our plans secondary issues like republicanism or EU membership would be left up to the people of Scotland after the initial objective of breaking up the UK through a straightforward ‘yes or no’ referendum.”

He added “I hope absolutely everyone who supports Scottish independence will consider supporting this campaign, which is open to members of all political parties and none. A membership form can be downloaded from our website www.independence1st.com .”
