For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.The most likely outcome of an independence vote is probably "no" - in which case there may and hopefully will be a fight for "devo-max". I don't see the SNP being destroyed by this referendum. They've been very popular so far and perhaps also very effective. Maybe that's been "subsidised success" but success all the same.
Well they were originally formed as a single issue party - but they are one of the few of those sort of parties that make it to the mainstream.
They now have a broad based manifesto, and self-evidently offer a lot of Scots something distinctive that they do not get from Labour or the LibDems - I won't mention the Tories, since they have no presence to speak of in Scotland.
Were they to lose the referendum, they would still be a legitimate party, and I doubt that their desire for home rule - they will, I am sure, regroup and try again.
Formed in 1934, Finally negotiated a referendum in 2014 - 80 years of try try and try again... :)
