A little...
The SNP were the only mainstream political party wanting independence. People can say it's not about them as many times as they want but they were the only ones proposing it.
The majority of the electorate felt, as did I, that they didn't explain anything just a 'trust us' which to sensible people doesn't cut any ice.
When they said they would have a currency union with the RUK and the political parties who could/would form a RUK government said they wouldn't enter into negotiations about it they said 'trust us, they're lying'. That happened with nearly every policy issue that showed them in a negative light.
When the oil price crashed, which experts predicted and were vilified for, we got 'it's only a bonus anyway'. Hundreds of thousands of highly skilled highly paid jobs were only a 'bonus' to the economy.
We can now all see the mess they are making of local government, the NHS, education and the emergency services but guess what, its someone else's fault.
Sensuble people know they've been in power for 10 years and where the majority of the buck stops.
Dafties like wee Stewarty continually cut and paste shyte from sites like wingsoversomerset etc and really couldn't give a phuck about Scotland's REAL future as long as they could say 'we are independent'.
If they REALLY want independence they have to start looking to hold the current government to account to make Scotland better for us all and only then will they have a real chance of winning a second vote. Instead all they do is throw insults like unionists, britnat, traitor etc at those who have more intelligence than them when we start questioning what the Scottish government does.
The only thing the government do is try and spoil for a fight at every opportunity. BREXIT is the latest opportunity for them. Have they asked about people who voted Yes but don't want to be part of the EU or are they being ignored in the quest for a 2nd referendum or do they not give a phuck about their views?
I guess we won't see the answers to the SNP's recent big debate questionnaire or whatever it was called as I don't think they got the answer they wanted.
Hope this helps.
