I sincerely doubt it. I’m sure, as I was before Nicola Sturgeon resigned that, in time, the tide of public opinion will wash untethered over the beaches of independence. Similarly, as a No-to-Yesser, I remain as convinced about the merits of independence as I was only months ago.

Yes, there might be a wider dip in independence support in the short term, but it won’t last. Why am I so confident? As every politician will tell you, the key to the future is young people. I am someone who sits in the middle of the 16-35 cohort, among which there is northwards of 65 per cent of support for independence.

This support is often regarded as temporary and a symptom of young idealism. Many think independence support will diminish with age, especially when twinned with what seems like increasing upheaval at the heart of the independence movement. Don’t make that mistake.
