I'd correct that 1st line Jim. It is relevant in a lotta areas in which the SNP can win list seats - they have done it in the past and Sturgeon's popularity is already rising even more positively than before as we gradually move out of the COVID crisis. But one must add a realistic view that without both votes SNP there is a risk of no independence majority - probably however too much to ask, no matter how true. And that is where it is already becoming apparent where Ecky's attack lines are being drawn - the list seats of interest are being published (and analysed) as we speak and they will be huge targets for the Alba Party, no doubt, and to the detriment of "back door" Tory and Labour benefactors who I reckon will be very worried that their "nice little number" for all these years will be seriously threatened. Some of these targets are in the north of Scotland where Ecky's campaign call will definitely be "look at your devastated fishing communities" or "you cosied up to Tory-Breixit traitors and look where you are" - "didn't listen and just look at traitors like DRoss and other Scot Tories who recently voted with the Brit govt against your interests" - SO MUCH POLITICAL AMMUNITION HE HAS TO COUNTER THEIR CRITICISMS AND HE WILL USE IT"!!! We'll see how it all unfolds but it could indeed end up with a huge independence mixed block of govt (one pre-requisite is that it needs to be unified - unity is key and that impetus is with Alex Salmond for at least to bear in mind not to divide the forces of progress for Scotindy!) that will definitely be on a "collision course" with an antagonistic Brit govt full of cabinet members trying to drape themselves in Union Jacks - Union Jackery absolutely frowned upon up here and effectively focusing millions of Scottish voters on the fact how Scottish we really are with the road to self-determination being very clear now. Interesting times ahead and I'll end this thread by uttering the words of an old footie song - CHE SERA SERA!
