Support for Independence is split 50-50 and nothing has changed since 2014...if we voted again the same result would occur.
The data show otherwise:

notsure, if you have a look at the âwhat Scotland thinksâ survey, linked above, youâll see that support for independence has been steadily increasing over the past decade. It has increased from 23% in 2012 to 52% in 2021.
The UK economic model is broken and Scotland cannot afford to be part of it any longer. Brexit is a disaster, austerity has ruined our public services, neoliberalism has hollowed out industry in favour of finance, and now even the city of London is not the cash cow it was because Paris has superseded it. Westminster has resorted once again to raiding North Sea profits to keep itself afloat for a little while longer. Independence for Scotland is an economic necessity. The longer we leave it the more damage we will incur as part of this failing so-called âvoluntaryâ union.

And 17,410,742 voted to leave the EU out of an electorate of 46,500,001. That means 62.6% in the UK didnât vote to leave the EU. So whatâs your point?
The only ones crying are unionists when they look at this graph. They are desperately using various tricks to try and prevent inevitable independence like a modern day King Canute.

Las Malv Iâm not sure he will attempt to defend the Thailand trip, because he hasnât really attempted to defend it so far. Despite saying in his livestream that trafficking and ethics is âa conversation worth havingâ, he has never engaged in that conversation since. (The bizarre assertion of âracismâ on Andrew Goldâs show notwithstanding - which went down like a lead balloon) Instead he has relied on vague assertions that people have âlied about himâ, and I suppose he just hopes that his patrons wonât look into the details. It seems he has come to realise that there is no way of presenting his actions that will be acceptable to most people, so he has decided to avoid specifics. But I hope you are correct and he does attempt to justify his Thailand trip, because as long as the core facts are stated, then I donât think there is any way of him presenting them that wonât alienate most of his audience.

peacefulpete I left the SNP because it has gone soft on independence, the leader is a liar who should have been removed from office, and they are increasingly incompetent. I donât agree with their self-certification policy for trans people either, but for me that is a minor issue. Scottish independence is much bigger than one party. As I said, there are many Labour voters who support independence too.
Of course you are correct that the SNP has evolved over the decades. Nowadays it is left-centre party, to the left of other mainstream parties in the UK. Anti-SNP partisans try to imply that SNP donât have a left-centre past, and that they are not entirely peaceful by distorting the actions of some in the SNP nearly a century ago. The only people that find these sorts of slurs relevant are extreme unionists largely talking to themselves. It has no legitimate place in the conversation about the majority of Scots who now want the country to be independent. Itâs a desperate attempt to deflect from the basic issue of democracy - that a majority vote for independence should be respected.

You can play games with any election result by excluding non voters if you like. By your own criteria did England vote to leave the EU? Or how many voted for the government in 2019? Or do you only apply these special criteria to election results you donât agree with?
Iâd just point out that rigging the system against Scotland is a failed strategy because in 1979 Scotland was denied devolution on the basis of a dodgy, last-minute adjustment to the voting criteria which demanded more than a majority. All it achieved was to foster resentment and resulted in a huge majority for devolution 18 years later. Will unionists ever learn that attempting to deny democracy doesnât work?

If this is a dig at me Iâll just mention that I have torn up my SNP card, and I am no longer a member of the party. There are plenty of other parties that support independence: Greens, Scottish Socialists, Solidarity, Alba, RISE, and others. (As far as I know, I havenât actually checked up on the current status of the smaller parties, and they may have split/joined/changed names) Plus there are plenty of supporters of other parties who also support independence. In particular something approaching a half of Labour voters support independence in the latest poll. (Iâll go and check that out and add it to this post, if I canât find it.)
If you want to talk about authoritarian or fascist tendencies, then what do you call it when the Supreme Court in another country declares that Scotland has no democratic mechanism for leaving its supposed âvoluntary unionâ with England?
Canât find the party data, but this is the long term attitudes survey that shows support for independence rising over the past few decades to over 50%.

âChurnâ is backstage YouTuber vocabulary, to borrow from Erving Goffmanâs terminology. LE isnât bright enough realise youâre not meant to use the word in âfront-stageâ, as it were.
