He's Scottish?
I wonder If he he voted in both the General and National elections?
I bet he voted SNP, not going to lie, if I was Scottish I certainly would.

Well, seems we both guess wrong.
And yes, he is, very.

I am indeed Scottish, but I live in York.
And I would vote for the SNP as I support their social agenda. Not sure about independence though, but Alex Salmond is taking prudent steps that are necessary, like renegotiating the Crown Estate so that North Sea oilfields aren't automatically the property of the monarch, but belong to the country.

Alright?

As far as I can gather most SNP voters are of the Ex- Scottish Unionist/Tory type.
With generally stronger support from the Orange community.
The fact their safest seats are Perthshire and Angus says it all tbh.

Ex Unionist? SNP?
Why the devil would a Unionist vote for the Independence party?

Fascinating how the SNP prove you can have a progressive, left leaning Nationalist party. England needs one too.

In terms of bread and butter policy the SNP are close to the Wet, One Nationist Toryism popular in Scotland
that existed before Thatcher.
Also, demographics of the voter base as shown in Opinion polls and vote spread.

Anyone defining themselves as a Unionist would not vote for a party dedicated to secession.
Amirite?

Yes.
but the kids of the generation who voted 51% SUP would be more open minded, while still wanting to vote for the same basic policy.

Left leaning centrism is attractive as a platform.
I think it's as simple as that.

Alright freefair?

Well whatever the SNP could be described as, Its certainly working.

I think the biggest factor in their favour is that they are not Labour, Tory or Lib Dem.
All the three main parties are historically unpopular. The SNP were pretty much a protest vote.

As you said, if only we had something similar.
