A fair proportion of the SNP are republicans. (More than we might suppose but keeping quiet for the time being.) They would in their socialist paradise of an independent Scotland have no truck with the queen and royalty of any sort. (We might get President Alex in stead!). That's bizarre but not totally crazy. There must be the odd well functioning republic here and there - though not I fancy a cold impoverished enclave of around only 5 million stuck on the edge of a large continent.
More pressingly however the SNP has come to resemble "The" Republicans - in the USA. Like them the SNP has given up on politics, and is in denial of the basic facts of existing (under them we couldn't call it living). They are as we have seen now an irrational religion peddling extreme nonsense to the public in pursuit of objectives which they themselves do not understand or agree about. People will vote for the republicans in USA as they vote for the SNP. Their lives are troubled, a sensible way out is complex, hard and slow a'coming and here are politicians telling them how they can solve their problems in a few simple steps. Religions have been doing this (a lot better) since the beginnings of human life and it is as fraudulent from the SNP as from anyone else. Give them the heave.
