The last six years have proven that simply isn't working (back to Einstein and insanity again).
I regard myself as one of the middle 20/30 and what I honestly think would work better for the SNP is to use this time now (where there will not be a referendum agreed by Johnston in this UK Parliament period) to put together a detailed plan that will convince the middle 20/30 in the areas they worry about including things like currency, membership of the EU, border with England, cost of transitioning to an Independent country, how to close the tax v spending gap etc etc. I truly believe that such a plan that is well thought through and contains warts and all (people will be more inclined to go for it if it is believable than milk and honey bullsh1t - see labour manifesto 2019) will have a much better chance of persuading enough of the swing voters than continuing with the last six years of blaming everything on big bad England.
