In a fine example of the meaning and spirit of inclusive national identity, members elected to the Scottish Parliament will today take their oaths in a total of six different languages: English, Gaelic, Scots, Doric, Urdu and Italian.
SNP group convener Gil Paterson said: "We have a wide range of cultures, roots and linguistic ties in this 69-strong group of SNP MSPs, and as our MSPs take their seats they are highlighting just some of the different cultures the SNP represents across Scotland."
Much of what will appear on this blog will also appear in the Syniadau Forums, but the emphasis on this blog is slightly different. The forums are focused more on the structures and institutions that Wales will need to develop in order to become a successful independent nation, arranged on a subject by subject basis, but the blog will have more of an emphasis on day to day political news and developments.
People are welcome to reply or leave comments either here or on the Syniadau Forums. If anyone wants to initiate a new subject they are very welcome to do so there.
