    The SNP are a means to an end, therefore they wont suffer the same fate as the Conservatives. Especially not when polls show that half of Scots want out of this union, and 8 out of ten want back in the EU.
    Anyway that's just my opinion. Have a good day Professor!

      Starker and Sunak both agreed that Scotland entered a voluntary union with England but will not allow Scotland to leave this “ voluntary union “
      If there is a second referendum on Brexit then there will surely have to be a second referendum on Scottish independence?

    How does the campervan come into it? The budget for the campervan was the SNP's?

      If you look up the SNP accounts on the Electoral Commission website, year 2020/21 you will find the Campervan under Assets, Vehicle at £82,000. It was bought for campaigning in the 2021 Scottish General Election.

      Indeed so the prof is conflating the stamps question (if it is a real question and not made up) with the campervan. The former being alleged misuse by a political party of public funds, the second is not an issue for anyone but the SNP

    Ever since Profumo affair, virtue within British politics has been evaporating. Also, instead of using wisdom to balancing trade, industry, commerce and society, they mainly enact laws to stop productive people from doing what productive people need to do in favour of large corporations and their big party donors.

    There might be a few bumps in the road, but the overall trajectory has been upwards in terms support of for independence. As the most reliable indicator is your age. The only thing I will say is that when independence is achieved. The SNP will have an identity crisis like UKIP did after Brexit. Combined with not being able to scapegoat Westminster for all of it's shortcomings.

    No way you can look to Swinney for ANY leadership qualities.
