Liberal cause
The Liberal Democrat commitment to campaign on behalf of mentally ill people is just one example of what may be at stake in the next few years.
Scotland is not an illiberal country and many people must feel as I do. The answer is not to hold violent demonstrations, but to become involved at a local community level. One way to do this is to join a political party and campaign in your own area. The Liberal Democrats have had a long tradition in doing just that, so it would make sense to join them, just as several thousands have done over the past few days.
