The UK no longer offers strength and stability, instead it offers a new Prime Minister every 1.5 years.
No wonder a majority of Scots now support real constitutional change - independence for Scotland.

With the Scottish Parliament, Welsh Senedd and Northern Ireland Assembly all increasingly driven by national democratic mandates, Westminster’s grip over these islands is weaker than ever.

SNP and Scottish Green supporters watching as Sarwar and Offord call one another liars. There's nothing like watching a fight between two loathsome individuals and knowing both will lose.

To try and write this all off as the machinations of one pollster is a clear nonsense. The patterns are crystal clear.
1. The SNP probably won't get a majority on their own, but could on FPTP seats if unionist vote splits work in their favour
2. RefUK will be the opposition unless we vote SGP2 more.
