Or he's actually convinced by the right's framing of things.
I'm not sure if I prefer his spiel to the kind of politicobafflegab I usually criticise you for. I guess I'm suspicious of deliberately opaque ideological motivations.
Still, up the workers and best of British luck to you old bean.

But I appreciate your effort to make the world a better place.
Having seen your earlier video as well (where you announce that you run against another guy), I have a comment to the overall approach and tone:
They message indignation and frustration. Not solutions.
That’s clearly a path you have chosen. But visions, concrete solutions and hopefulness tends to lay a more long-term direction + leaves people with an alternative that offers actual solutions (you).
Haven’t seen the full vid, but this short one appears mostly negative.

though if an independent candidate does win its generally because of some grievance with the major party candidate, rather than looking to them for a comprehensive policy on construction procurement or trade or the like

If he manages to combine both, he may become king of Scots.

Because ultimately if all the Scottish working class care about are themselves then that's all it can ever be. I doubt independence will do the Scottish poor any favours, and by removing 59 parliamentary seats which are overwhelmingly anti Tory from the UK parliament, they are also condemning the rest of the British poor to many more decades of austerity and cronyism.
I'd also challenge what you even define as the Left, because it's a very broad brush indeed, and the interviewee is extremely subjective on this issue...

and for the healthcare, social safety net, EU membership, a denuclearised navy, etc.
I think Scottish independence would benefit everyone in Scotland fairly rapidly. It would fuck England, but it would be our fault.

Scottish independence is not condemning the "rest of the British poor" to anything. The rest of the UK has freely chosen Brexit, Johnson and his right wing populist nonsense itself.
What's driving the independence movement is the realisation that the political majority in the rest of the UK wants to go in a fundamentally different direction from the majority in Scotland (and I'm talking about the broader approach to social policy and how you do politics, not specific narrow party allegiances here). Eventually you come to the conclusion that's not changing any time soon, and it's better to let cohesive national groups make their own, different choices about how they organise themselves.
