I think a lot of the early support for Scotland independence was real but the socialists jumped on board the populism bandwagon and ran with it. Unfortunately the socialists made it more of a means of getting closer ties with the even bigger government EU. I think the socialists lost the true independence voters in the last days.
If I were a Scot, I would want independence but socialism was never going to deliver it. It can’t, independent socialism is an oxymoron.
Well put, very well indeed!
