"Previously hidden assumptions and prejudices have been uncovered that will take a longer timeframe to fully do justice to."
"The chimera of invoking ‘progressive Scotland’, while sidling up to the establishment, vested interests and big business, has worked well for the SNP for a number of years. But it was always going to run out of traction when the parameters of that progressivism have not addressed who has power and voice in Scotland – and who has not. Instead, it has peddled the deception that political change and independence are possible without talking about such fundamentals.
This was never the case, and the SNP will soon be reminded of such political truths – that power and voice matter and always have. If they want to address the big issues in our country, the SNP and independence – and wider Scottish politics – will eventually have to face up to this."
