THE debate on the SNP independence strategy for the forthcoming UK election is an important one and I’d like to respond to Brian Lawson’s…
Whether or not they were as effective as today’s tartan caretakers of the green benches is difficult to determine, but the current crew of SNP MPs are the manifestation of the sovereignty of the Scottish people whatever you might think of their collective performance.parliament is a creature of Westminster and its Scotland Act, and as we’ve been told countless times constitutional affairs are squarely in Westminster’s bailiwick.
By contrast it is highly unlikely we will see the heady days of May 2015 again. Surely we were definitively on the road to independence with 56 SNP seats, 49.97% of the vote on a turn out of 71%. Given all the subsequent dirty water that has flowed under the metaphorical bridge since then, I for one am reluctant to bet a fiver on it.
