AS Scotland slouches toward the 10th anniversary of the independence referendum, few in the SNP seem remotely enthusiastic about the occasion. If anything, there’s a distinct sense that many would rather September 18 passed without note.
Two years ago, when Nicola Sturgeon announced a second referendum for October 2023, such a scenario was difficult to imagine.
However, lacking intellectual leadership and a theory of change to achieve their ultimate goal, the timidity with which John Swinney and his government have approached the occasion is hardly surprising. It is nonetheless a compelling illustration of the depth of the crisis within their party.
