I'm a relatively recent subscriber and enjoying these articles, which are picking apart the absurdity of the SNP position.

There are 2 key things that would become "game changers" in my view. Firstly, the opposition (pro Union) parties need to collectively "hold their noses" and try to work together more coherently as they did as part of the Better Together campaign. The election is shaping up to be a referendum about a referendum and they need to try to set differences to one side to confront what is effectively a one party state at the moment.

Secondly, there needs to be a shift in the Scottish mainstream media position. The lack of proper questioning of Sturgeon, Swinney, Freeman etc is incredible for a government that has been in place for so long, with such a poor record. Perhaps the Salmond enquiry will change this, however I'm not optimistic if the BBC coverage last weekend is anything to go by.

Blair, excellent article. In the Coming The Books section, there's a typo ( shout ):

We’re asked to believe the country we would have just given two-fingers to will shout us for the single largest item of public expenditure.
