Iam from Scotland and I would absolutely never ever vote SNP I think they are very divisive they have made a mess of devolved powers they have and want more powers and their entire focus is on independence at the cost of neglecting the day job

The Conservatives are not ‘Universally popular’ South of the border either.
The Conservatives have 8 Westminster MPs. There are not many things certain about this election. But I am pretty confident the Conservative will have less than 8 Scottish MPs and the SNP will have more than their current tally of 35, afterthe GE.

It's going to depend on individual attitude. Does one know which side of one's bread is buttered. Does one prioritise fantasy from the heart or logic from the head. Does one believe in the union. Is one determined to vote in a party whose aim is to benefit all nationwide, or just to benefit their particular country (and not even get that right). The problem up north is that there's little option if wanting to make a protest vote. One's more or less stuck with the fantasists.
OG,
That is about as wide of the mark as it is possible to get.
Scotland voted to Remain, so leaving the UK is one way of achieving that. The Conservatives, Labour and the LibDems are all campaigning on preserving the Union. So a Scottish voted who wants to remain in the EU are more likely to voteSNP than anyone else, even if they aren’t at all bothered about Independence.

Scotland voted to Remain, so leaving the UK is not going to achieve that. Plus proving to be unable to support democracy but being willing to break away to avoid it shows a particular level of sinking low. What if one Scottish area decides they want to leave. Are they allowed to break away to avoid the Scottish majority view ? The whole thing is immoral and nonsense. And that reflects on any party supporting it.
On 23 June 2016, the UK-wide referendum on EU membership resulted in a majority for leaving the EU of 52% to 48%. However in Scotland the outcome showed a majority for remaining as part of the EU of 62% to 38%. There was a majority for remain in every local authority area."

Wolf63, did you mean exactly what you said ? Scotland cannot leave Britain because it is joined to England, but it certainly can leave the UK because that is simply an administrative arrangement involving both countries plus Wales and N.I - although some seem to think it is both a natural and divine law that this should remain so.
gromit "Well anyone would be wrong then" - they why did you say: "The Conservatives are not ‘Universally popular’ South of the border either. " - rather than : "The Conservatives and Labour are not ‘Universally popular’ South of the border either. " - you see every chance, with all things being equal, you knock the Tories. So you'll forgive me if I have doubts. What are you embarrassed about? I know Labour are MAABOF but plenty inexplicably support them.
Ah, it's not one I have come across. Better together ? The UK is seriously backward in several ways socio-economically and woefully disorganised generally. Scotland in the Union will never be greatly different than the rest. Perhaps the hope is that Brexit will cure all ? The thing is that the UK's comparative position was a bit worse when it joined the EU but has improved marginally. The conversation in Scotland centres on change through/by disengaging from the UK and bringing it about.
