Built Before the Break: Scotland’s New Infrastructure for Independence
Four years of groundwork, one ready-made system, zero excuses left. The People’s Assembly is live, tested, and waiting to be used.
🔧 Blueprints for a Nation: What’s Ready for the National Convention
By the time others finish talkin, we’re already buildin.
Since 2020, when the People’s Assembly page first went live on Facebook, we’ve been quietly – and at times loudly – assembling something no other group in Scotland has managed:
a full-scale, functioning, and ready-to-deploy alternative system for national self-determination.
While the Yes movement was fragmented by party politics, ego wars, and endless strategy loops, we focused on what mattered: building the tools.
Now, as calls grow for a National Convention, it's time for a refresher.
This isn’t just a dream or a list of demands—this is what’s already built, funded, and sitting ready for rollout.
🧱 A People's Infrastructure – Already Built
Here’s a breakdown of what’s been developed since 2020. These aren’t theories. These are practical, tested, and scalable systems designed for one purpose: to give the people of Scotland control over their own future.
🏛️ COMMUNITY DEMOCRACY
✅ The People’s Assembly Digital Platform (Beta)
Live and functioning. Includes:
Secure smart contracts for signature collection
Community-led proposal submission
Integrated voting model
Transparent public ledger
✅ Local Assembly Templates
Turn existing Community Councils into People’s Assemblies, with full legal and operational guides to support the transition.
✅ “Freedom Link” Campaign
A chain model that links every local area into one national, decentralised decision-making structure.
Each community gets a voice. Every community has equal weight.
✅ Voting Infrastructure
Protocols and systems for digital votes, including identity checks, consensus thresholds, and delegation.
💰 ECONOMIC SOVEREIGNTY
✅ Community Investment Company Model
A fully scoped legal and financial structure that allows communities to collectively own assets, vote on investments, and benefit directly from profits.
✅ Community Wealth Fund Proposal
A Scotland-wide fund tied to local outcomes, independent of the Treasury, designed to be governed by the people through transparent oversight.
✅ Housing & Energy CICs
Ready-made models for setting up community-owned housing cooperatives and green energy firms. Fully legal, funded by community shares, with returns reinvested locally.

Yes, we even tackled the big scary stuff:
Currency options
Central Bank models
EFTA/EU re-entry strategy
Debt modelling
All drafted. All peer-reviewed. All ready.
📜 LEGAL & CONSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK

A lawful, historical basis for Scotland’s right to self-determine, complete with UN compliance references.

The modern, people-powered version of Scotland’s foundational declaration of sovereignty.

🛡️ DIGITAL SOVEREIGNTY

Digital signatures
Verified identities
Total user control over data
GDPR compliance (and beyond)
✅ RFID-Linked Signature Cards
Physical cards for digital voting, fully integrated into SAPS. Already tested and implemented for sign-ups.
🗣️ CULTURE, STORY & SPIRIT

More than just a festival – it's a cultural front for political education, empowerment and unity.
Designed to tour Scotland with civic-led conversations at its core.
✅ The People’s Saltire
A national symbol of self-determination, designed by the people, owned by no party.
✅ Audio & Visual Identity Assets
From music anthems to logos, chants to films – the culture war front is already equipped.
🧩 SO, WHAT’S MISSING?
Not much.
We’ve got the infrastructure.
We’ve got the legal footing.
We’ve got the economic models.
We’ve got the messaging.
We’ve even got the feckin posters.
What we need now is reach.
We need groups, pages, influencers, and organisers to plug in—not to start something new, but to deploy what’s already done.
The People’s Assembly platform is not a party, not a theory, and not a distraction.
It’s the engine room of what the Convention could be if we actually used the tools already built.
🚀 NATIONAL CONVENTION: PHASE 2 – ACTIVATION
If we’re serious about change, we don’t need another year of meetings about meetings.
We need distribution. Delegation. Direction.
Everything above is already on standby.
All that’s left is to connect the dots, rally the troops, and turn this movement from reactive to revolutionary.
Join the Assembly. Use the tools. Become the storm.
