Both Mhairi Black and then Pete Wishart asked: “How do Scots get the independence that we want?”
Of course this was not answered. Instead A Jack launched into what he must consider to be a list of weak points in the case for indy: £1600 per person more from the public purse than rest of the UK, the largest deficit in Europe, and Andrew Wilson’s promise to apply “austerity like never before”. So, in Jack’s mind, it’s the economy, the economy, and the economy!
According to MacIntyre-Kemp in Wednesday’s National: “75% of Scottish voters say they would back independence if they believed in the economic case.”
