In the interests of fairness, I feel it necessary to point out that "once in a generation" was not a personal view of one man, it was the phrase used in the preface of Scotlands Future, the official Scottish Government publication in late 2013, setting out their case for Scottish Independence.

With regard to the hated FPTP system, it is responsible for the SNP getting 7.4% of the seats in Westminster despite getting only 3.9% of the votes. In fact, in 2019 the SNP received fewer total votes than in 2015, as well as a smaller percentage of the total votes cast and returning fewer MPs. As a whole, Scottish MPs have never been greatly influential in Westminster, never mind since Independence support increased in Scotland.

I took the trouble to read 0762's Business For Scotland article and found it just as one-sided as any Daily Mail article. Having said that, my support for Independence is solid and hopefully I will be around long enough to see it, but it'll be a while yet.
