POLL: Should the special independence convention be for SNP members only?

THE SNP will hold their special independence convention in Dundee on June 24 to debate how best to hold a legally binding independence referendum.

The event will be attended by SNP members having previously been scheduled for March 19 before the resignation of Nicola Sturgeon.

It is due to take place on the same day as a major independence rally in Stirling, which has led to organiser All Under One Banner accusing the SNP of showing “contempt” for the grassroots movement.

The decision to only include SNP members has also attracted criticism with one member suggesting SNP leadership move the convention and "really engage with the rally in Stirling" and broadcaster Lesley Riddoch urging "a jointly agreed programme for making common cause".

We want to know if you think the event should be attended by just the SNP or if it should be open to all pro-independence parties and Yes groups.
