@simon_lucy I think it's more weariness with a government that the press has constantly belittled and hounded to death.

Gender reform killed by London
We need independence and 2014 lies and Brexit reset all that so we should involve the entire UK and let England boot us out instead

There's always a mounting tide the press is part of it, the simple grinding necessities of Govt and then chasing poorly formed ideas is also always part of it.

The SNP might have unique reasons but fundamentally it always ends in failure, no elected governments go out on a high and because of success.

There isn't support for an effective UDI and likely there never will be. Independence evolves to be a policy not the purpose.

@simon_lucy @spytfyre Meanwhile, Labour operates under the delusion that it will go back to being the default setting for Scottish politics.

The only test of that is an election, in the meantime every party has their own fantasy.

As the SNP (and I always use SDP these days and have to correct), they now have an external rump in Alba which wants to steal back the clothes of independence. That's more of a threat than Labour even with the peculiar Ash.
