We need a change of government but not the bloody labour party, so a complete change within the SNP is the only way.
I'm in the same boat.
The SNP's problem now is, they are the natural party of government.
They have to balance the pursuit of independence with the real politik of government.
And handling a hostile, pro Unionist, media into the bargain.
