They get so many votes at present because the SNP and Green MSPs dare not tell their supporters all the pitfalls of Scotland becoming an independent country.
The SNP and Green MSPs love to moan about the Westminster Government but they cannot tell us what they would do differently as the truth would cost them a lot of votes.
