I'm not sure where you think I am wrong?? As you say 40% of Labour voters would vote for independence, so by that I assume 60% wouldn't currently vote for it or are undecided. National polls, the latest being last week, say 48% were in favour of independence, with 45% against and 8% undecided. on that basis the Labour party has aligned itself with potentially 53% of the electorate. No matter what side of this debate he positions the Labour party he stands to alienate a portion of the party, just the same as Corbyn would have done with Brexit, but at least past Labour supporters now know where they stand, something that couldn't be said for Corbyn.

I wasn't saying he was right to do this or that I agree with his decision, but part of politics is clarity on policy decisions and unlike Corbyn he has just given this one topic clarity. The quality of his team up there is not being debated by me nor is COVID-19 a factor.
