Why do so many people in Scotland want Independence? Will it happen, should it happen and what will it mean for Scotland and the rest Britain?

Join Compass for the book launch of Scotland Rising: The Case for Independence with the author and regular Compass contributor, Gerry Hassan, Professor at Stirling University and constitutional change expert, Kirstein Rummery, and Anthony Barnett, the co-founder of openDemocracy and helped initiate Europe for Scotland. His most recent book is Taking Control!  to discuss the book in the turbulent political context we are in.

With the Gordon Brown Commission due on the the future of the Union, Scotland and the independence debate are bound to be a huge feature of the next election and the coming years.
