IF, as Alex Salmond claims, “it’s in the national interest to vote Alba on the list”, (April 7), why is Alba putting up four candidates in each of the Highlands & Islands and South Scotland regions? May 6 is our day of judgement. Indy voters should know the extent that chance will play in the success or failure of all our indy aspirations. The battleground was set by Max the Yes and the claims by Action for Independence that one in four SNP2 votes will rid Scotland of the Tories. Apart from contempt for voters who don’t share our indy views, this claim was simply untrue. If the SNP fail to secure a majority in May, these claims from AFI spokespersons may prove to be Boris Johnson’s ace card.

Five years ago the SNP gained just four regional seats from a total of 953,587 list votes HAVING just read Angus Robertson’s column in Saturday’s National I find myself, once again, questioning his commitment to independence (Give both of your votes to SNP in May if you want indyref2, February 13). This is someone who, among many other careers, is a pollster. He informs us that, based on recently polls, The SNP are on course to take 71 seats and all but three of the constituency seats. If my mathematics are correct, this means the SNP with 43% of the vote will take just one regional seat!

The Missing Papers at the National Archives May Not Be a Grand Conspiracy After All
The National Archives catalogue shows just 626 records – far fewer than the thousands initially suggested.
Thousands of government papers have apparently gone missing from the UK National Archives. Declassified documents covering some of the most controversial episodes from Britain’s past, including the Falklands War, Northern Ireland’s Troubles and the now infamous Zinoviev Letter Affair were among the missing files, having been officially “misplaced while on loan” to government departments. Some have claimed this is evidence of a government cover-up, but the truth is probably more mundane.
