Iam from Scotland and I would absolutely never ever vote SNP I think they are very divisive they have made a mess of devolved powers they have and want more powers and their entire focus is on independence at the cost of neglecting the day job

I know, karl. Scotland was asked, and decided to stay with the UK. The UK, had voted to leave. That is as far as we have officially got- and while Scotland decide to remain with us... they can't claim that "they" want something different, as it is "we" and not "they".
If they become independent, then their own views are up to them- but they didn't want that, when asked.

Gordie, don't forget that in an independent Scotland there would/will be a collection of parties to vie for policy leadership,and your vote. Once independent, Scotland can actually diverge from the UK - the only way Scotland will become better than the sluggish UK (one way would be to simply copy what is successfully done in/by other similar sized well run countries) is to be seriously different. I have no doubt Scotland can be better apart but my concern is that Scottish leaders will not have the force/guts to quickly become "non-UK" or/and the Scottish public/electorate will not have the necessary willingness. An independent Scotland may continue to lag well behind its potential for a few generations yet but it need not stay in the UK to do so quite so much.
Pixie, that's just it isn't it: They will likely be asked to state their current desire (in the light of recent developments and the passage of time). Previously the "Yes" strength started out being seen as, optimistically by many (even among supporters of independence), maybe just past 20% and ended up past 45%. Now the indications are that around 50% is where the mood sits, one asks where would it go if/when put to the test ?
