I think if people look seriously at some of the snp's statements over the past few years you'll see gross misjudgements; celitic tigers; the bus nationalisation being dropped after stagecoach went onboard; and so on. But the UK politicians were actually in charge, and they're in many respects far worse because they're in power.
I think once the scots have independence there'll be all manner of scots political parties.
None of which will change the globalisation and free market that they are all dependent upon......but the UK government are blind to that too.
Scots being a reborn state will have no influence, in much the same way as the current UK have no influence, but as Gus quite rightly states, at least it'll be scots no influence, not UK.
As you point out, it dont matter.
Your both coming at the same conclusion from differing directions

CC, one word, self-interest, Alec Salmond is no different to any politician south of the border. He may be smarter, but that's only because he has the latitude. When in power, it's business as usual. If the political mechanism is not in place, that makes him accountable to his electorate, it's the same old sh*t, different day.
The Gusmac's of this world will believe anything they are told to believe.
