| Comment | I think the SNP would gtf anyway in the event of independence. Sturgeon would probably quietly retire. She’d have accomplished her goal and if I was her I’d absolutely want to spend the rest of my life just resting, maybe writing the odd book or giving the odd speech or interview. Whoever takes over after her is unlikely to unify the party. The SNP is an issue party at heart. Some MPs/MSPs are very left wing and some are quite right wing. They’d probably either join parties they feel represent them better or they’d just quietly bow out of politics after they’ve realised their goal of independence. I think (and hope) an independent Scotland would have a thriving and interesting political scene for a few years. New parties would crop up and old ones would disband. It would be an absolutely fascinating time. |
