I don't think any of the parties (perhaps the Greens) are viable post Independence. Lab, Con, Lib are all unionist partisans and the snp are nationalists. None of them can continue in their current format post Indy. If you look at the Rep. Of Ireland for example. Their economy has grown at a ridiculous rate of noughts since they've had a right of centre government. Something that perhaps would be beneficial to Scotland but it couldn't come under a party which is conflated by the same British Conservatism that exists at the moment. So i'd imagine a post indy Parliament would look very different. I'd hope so. The polls relate to independence. That's around 15 in a row all around 55% - 58%. The thing is, the SNP have hammered home the message that they will only have an indy mandate for a 2nd referendum if the clear majority in the Scottish Parliament are from pro-indy parties. It will be in their manifesto and it's all they will sing from the rafters. There's only the SNP and the Greens so unless Labour start supporting the idea, I know where the 55% plus voters "X" will go on the ballot paper. The 45% will be split between the other 4 or 5 parties and therefore the majority of seats will go to the SNP. It's happening.

So i'd imagine a post indy Parliament would look very different. I'd hope so. I find myself wholeheartedly agreeing with a lot of what you say but i do disagree with your take on whether or not the SNP get a majority and how that translates to Indy. Currently there is no prospect of Indy without the SNP whether we like it or not and many of us do not but i do understand your point for that reason and others. If the SNP are only going to accept a referendum if it is allowed by Westminster then they will never get my vote again. Westminster will never allow it no matter how frustrated the Scottish people become and sooner or later the SNP will become irrelevant. For some of us that point is already here. If they make the next election a vote for Indy then they will get my vote. I no longer feel the need for playing a waiting game especially as the many improvements we saw in the early years of SNP governments have been eroded. The SNP leadership tell us the pressure for a second referendum will be too great for the Tories to bear if they are returned with a majority but i don't think they care and if this is the point you are making then i agree. There are now many like us who will not vote SNP but still want Indy. The media and Unionists will equate declining support for the SNP as declining support for Indy. I don't want this to happen, what should i do? Unfortunately if you don't vote SNP there is a fair chance your vote will be seen as a vote against Indy.

XB52 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 The SNP is the only party to vote for if you want independence. I for one agree with most of what the snp do and also think NS is head and shoulders above any other political leader in the UK (not hard i know). After independence, NS will be prime minister of Scotland for one term before the snp disband into other real Scottish labour/Tory/liberal parties.

That is why it won’t go away imo, the blatant and pig headed belief that nothing changed after the last one and to get over it and nonsense like that.

Now we’re told it’s another 30-40 years until “we’re allowed” another one? Honestly that boils my water that kind of stuff. If an Independence Party put it in their election manifesto and win by a big margin then we shouid be able to have as many as we like and even to declare UDI, I wasn’t aware we were held under duress. By the same token I believe the same if a party wanted to re-enter the Union after we left and gained enough support then you’re not allowed to just say to people it’s not happening I’m not sure how anyone squares that argument at all. A sort of threatening do as your told and be quiet attitude, it gives the nationalist movement or any movement tbh everything it needs to build support yet no one seems to recognise this on the Union side. I voted Yes and likely would again but I wouldn’t lose my shit if it was No again either. I was quite happy to respect the No vote but saying that it was a once in a generation vote thing and lies like that only fuels the fires I can’t believe they don’t see what they’re doing. Either that or they’re incredibly stupid. The British government has no right saying you’ll not be doing this or that.

I recognise there will be a hardcore who will never give it up but I think the case for having a third referendum would be so difficult to make viably assuming there’s no Brexit type constitutional change and I think the significant majority would want to move on without having the constitutional issues hanging over us indefinitely.

It would be interesting to see how the SNP would fare without Sturgeon. As much as i can't stand her, she is an impressive orator. Watching John Swinney standing in for her in the daily briefing was painful. It's no wonder she barely let's anyone else do it.

Don't really care who would take over as whomever it is would be superior to any unionist alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
