It would now seem the S.N.P. has achieved it’s original object of driving a wedge between it and the rest of the U.K. and also causing a lot of ‘navel gazing’ by all U.K. political parties regarding how best to treat/grovel to them, prior to the forthcoming General Election?

Had the S.N.P. really wished to leave the U.K. and become an Independent State then surely all they had to do, was for the Scottish Parliament to agree to a proposal to declare U.D.I?

Job done.

However they obviously needed to have a benefactor of last resort for when/if the Independence failed and duly selected the U.K.

They could one supposes, ‘do a Greece’ and invite either the Russians or Chinese to act as benefactor, on the basis they would handover Faslane and give usage to Leuchars & Lossiemouth but that may just be a step too far even for such an avaricious Party?
