Just because people voted the SNP in does not mean it is because they want independence. It was moree to do with them being fed up with the Westminster puppets that were in. As there is no chance of Westminster puppets know he might find at the next election he is in opposition.

I think the people of Scotland, much as they may rail against the accursed English, have more sense than the fools in charge. Pauline MacNeill asked Mr Salmond the question and was shot down in patriotic flames by the First Minister.
It was the quip about full independence but still allowing England to subsidise the perks that Scotland receives that got me. I used to quite respect the man for his patriotism but now I realise it's based on getting everything he can from our government whilst biting the hand that feeds him.
The ultimate benefit scrounger, you might say.
