I hope you're right, we'll see.
I'm in a similar boat re:the actual "politics" of government/governance.
I'll vote SNP as that is the best mechanism towards achieving independence, even if WeeFree Kate is heid honcho. (Is there a chance she could bring the "socially conservative" demographic to the movement?)
Post independence, hopefully a new, grown up politics will evolve in Scotland and at that stage I'd hope to become more engaged (if I'm still here).
