SNP got 40% of a turnout of less than 50% of the electorate. Thats 20% of the electorate. I think those who believe in the Union should insist on a referendum, invite Swinney to join them in petitioning the King or Parliament or whoever.
It's a simple question, Independence or stay within the UK.
It's the sort of simple question that can be easily answered by the democratic process.
The devil is in the detail, euro, means joining EU and all their regulations, hard border with England, customs, passports, use the pound. No real control over borrowing costs.
Why you would vote for freedom without knowing what it means to you is another issue. Cameron thought Brexit was an absolutely stupid idea and completely failed to take the public seriously. It was the fundamentally undemocratic way the the EU institutions operated that motivated Brexiteers. Take back control. Do deals with the rest of the world. Perhaps this could cut through and motivate more Scots to vote for independence. As an older person my worry is the benefit Bill in Scotland, including state pension and NHS funding.
I think the SNP care only about their political party, just the same as every other political party, but paradoxically if they achieved independence why would you want a party that has conclusively demonstrated their incompetence over many issues?
Apologies for digging up old moans.
