We *were* playing the long game. Salmond’s strategy was progress through good governance, and it was working despite the defeat in ‘14.
Sturgeon took over a massively popular movement but let her ego take over. She kept the indy groups at arms length, claiming the SNP were the only show in town. She allowed careerists—much like Militant with Labour in the 80s—to hijack and minimise indy.
We have MPs & MSPs openly stating indy is not a priority for them; that devo /
should be made stronger.
Too many don’t realise that the majority of Scotland’s problems can’t be solved until decisions about Scotland are actually made in Scotland. Not by a foreign government.
The SNP needs a thorough clearout and reset. If there is anyone who does not have independence as their driving motivation they should be weeded out.
