Like all single issue parties they have to keep banging on about that single issue or they become irrelevant. It also conveniently distracts from the pigs ear they are making of running their country and general failure to deliver.

No. We said 5 -9 was a draw mate. What was your take on the results?Well, i'd say you are the winner of that bet. 6 seats, close enough to 5.

I gathered that up to election night the talk from Wee Jimmie K was the national issues of health, education, finance, etc, and the minute the results were in she flipped the coin and, hey presto, the election was all about the Big IndyRef. I think it would be a bit of a laugh if Boris were to tell her that she wouldn't need a referendum - come 1 June 2020 Scotland is independent. The border agents are spread across Cumbria and Northumberland. The last English groat has headed north and the only currency they have is a Scottish pooooond! 'Twould liven up a wet Summer!

I was surprised by the exit poll tbh, didnt quite believe the poll, but 48 is still more than i expected. labour and libdems, no surprises, Tories losing as many as they did is for me a positive sign.
The margins are incredible. orkney was the biggest surprise, 102 seat swing, pretty damn close, never saw that coming. Moray too, pretty close, for a brexit leaning fishing constituency.

They should be granted independence pending a 'deal' that includes a mutually acceptable solution to the border with England. It would have to be a hard border obviously to maintain the integrity of the EU if Scotland remains. This could drag on for years ;-)I gathered that up to election night the talk from Wee Jimmie K was the national issues of health, education, finance, etc, and the minute the results were in she flipped the coin and, hey presto, the election was all about the Big IndyRef.

There were some incredibly close results including Swinsons. I do think that given the paucity of choice between LD, Tory and Labour, a great many voters like me are lending their support to SNP based on their domestic policies and ability to defend Scotland’s interests at Westminster. Independence is not a given but I do think she has earned a strong mandate for a second referendum and permission to make the case to the country. I just hope that what they put forward is realistic and reasonably honest. Then who knows...I was surprised by the exit poll tbh, didnt quite believe the poll, but 48 is still more than i expected. labour and libdems, no surprises, Tories losing as many as they did is for me a positive sign.

Agree with that. Think it’s also interesting that she’s shifting the narrative away from leaders and onto the sovereignty of the people. There’ll be much media floss about Salmond in the coming weeks, but the gradual shift in Scotland is bigger than individuals and needs to be taken seriously.
