Not at all. Im just drawing the contrast that stopping a Reform govt is my main priority and I’d vote any way to stop it.

But Scexit isn’t going to happen, is it? So we’re talking status quo SNP or far right Reform one. It requires a moral stand, not some tribal gripe.

You think they’ll all be a three way split? If polling showed a seat was going to either SNP or Reform, with no other party close, how would you vote?

That‘s a stretch. Arguing that the SNP are as bad as Reform is silly, and highly counterproductive, in my view. But my primary concern is opposing Reform, so I guess we‘re at odds on that.

Fair enough. If the constituency vote is close in my area, I’ll vote for whichever main party is most likely to beat Reform.

The independence debate is only really relevant to the next Scottish Parliament elections if the UKG decide to accept an SNP win as grounds for a referendum. They won’t, so we’ll probably end up where we are now - a political landscape where the independence debate is a theoretical side issue.

The next time - if there is one - will be so far in the future that it feels like a moribund issue, IMO.

I suspect you’re looking for a debate that I - a consistent switherer on the topic, currently leaning to the No side - can’t provide

Not sure the first two of these contain any threat, and Sillars is just a crank. But I appreciate your sharing them - I remember worryingly little about that campaign!!

I wonder how it will work in terms of elections and the proposition that they could be in government.

Do you really only see removing a policy that turbo-charges child poverty as ‘appeasing Labour MPs’?
