Scottish services are subsidised by the UK taxpayer because they cost more to deliver on a Scottish island, but that subsidy would cease after independence and the SNP are unable to explain who would make up the difference. So, if the doctor and the teacher on your Scottish island depends on the UK taxpayer, who is going to fund it if Scotland leaves the UK? After all there are going to rather fewer Scottish taxpayers and who knows how many more might choose to stay in the UK by moving south.

If the SNP really wanted to help reverse Scotland’s population decline it would

1 Cease going on about independence.

2 Encourage Scots to stop looking at English people as the Enemy

3 Focus on building an economy that can provide good jobs and cheap childcare

4 Build ferries and improve roads.

5 Encourage people from other parts of the UK to move to Scotland.
