Sensible. They had a good run at it. Didn’t work out. Regroup and try again later.

I think they have proved themselves to be just the same as the other parties. They aren’t offering anything new and haven’t really proved themselves at a devolved level.
Nicola Sturgeon was carrying the party and her resignation showed that.
They are also too splintered. You have the ultra conservative “tartan Tory” types and then you have the progressive types. The only thing they have in common is independence.

Can they also put their batshit crazy leaders on the back burner for 10 years?

Hah.
Wait until rUK votes Reform in if you think the independence question is a done thing.

The last was in 2014
I feel like a “no” to a constitutional change referendum should have a 1-generation cooldown, so ~25 years
Which would mean the next referendum (if there’s demand for it) would be in around 2040, 15 years from now
You can’t just waste money asking every 10 years because you didn’t like the answer last time, that’s stupid

They’ve had years and years yet still haven’t been able to give firm answers on basic but incredibly important questions about post independence.
The first of which is who’s going to pay to rebuild Hadrian’s wall when the EU demand a hard border with a non EU state (the UK)

Brexit has shown just how difficult things can become, it was hard enough un-entangling the UK from 50 years of EU membership, imagine how difficult it’ll be for 300 years of union! There’s one massive problem that would need solving Shetland doesn’t seem overly enamoured with the idea of being part of an independent Scotland.
Also the oil industry is slowly on its way out and won’t bring in the money anymore.

They can’t it’s the only thing that holds all the different bits of the SNP together.

SNP really are a pathetic party..equally as useless as the last Tory government

There will be less Scots in 10 years time to vote for independence.

I hate to say this but the uk really needs everybody together atm, and for everybody not to he swallowing the bullshit online.

How much could another independence thingy cost and who would pay for it? How many refs will they have before admitting defeat?

Despite them still getting support I can’t help feeling that actually experiencing the SNP in long term government in Scotland hasn’t , for potential swing voters, been exactly a selling point for independence.
