About I Want To Break Free by Matt Qvortrup
Join us at the Glasgow University Union Drawing Room at 7pm on November 9th for this unmissable talk. Hosted by the renowned Glasgow University Union Debate society.
Are you fed up with the divided and unequal society or suffocating laws and regulations of the country where you live?
Ever dreamed of starting your own country or just want to understand how that happens?
In this refreshing new book, Matt Qvortrup provides a step-by-step guide to forming an independent country, from organising a referendum and winning it, to receiving official international recognition, establishing a currency and even entering the Eurovision song contest.
Qvortrup recounts his globetrotting experiences as an expert consultant on referendums to give a no-nonsense explanation of the many hurdles and barriers, as well as the opportunities for those who want to break free.
'Matt Qvortrup's concise book provides an expert guide to the practical issues of making a country formally independent, self-governing and part of the community of democratic nation-states. Myths are challenged, and historic and contemporary examples drawn from, which are relevant to how we make sense of independence in the age of interindependence. Essential reading for anyone with an interest in self-government in Scotland, Catalonia and elsewhere.' - Gerry Hassan, Professor of Social Change, Glasgow Caledonian University and author of Scotland Rising: The Case for Independence
