Have you only just worked that out?


It's why i said independence is all but inevitable at some point in the future. Salmond will know from his own left wing schooling that it often takes a few failed attempts before the eventual breakthrough


There are three major factors at play


1: A global trend towards more small states (about 150 were formed in the last century)

2: There is a drift towards right wing agendas which will herald more conservative governments (possibly with UKIP as a partner). It'll only require a dynasty of the type we saw '79 to '92 to push Scotland

3: The Labour party is closer now to the SDP allowing the SNP to push onto Scotland's natural socialist agenda. This will ensure that SNP governments aren't a flash in the pan


At some point in the future the stars will align again. An overall assembly majority will coincide with a run of conservatiev governments in London. All it requires than is a charismatic leader to fulfil the final piece in the jigsaw.


The SNP will keep asking for a mandate until one day they get it


5 + 3 = ?
