In the UK General Election of 2010 out of circa 3million votes cast in
"Scotland" only 491,000 were cast for the SNP, the only party with a
manifesto for Independence.
The people sent 59 MP's to the UK parliament of which the SNP sent 6.
I suspect that next year the "silent" majority of voters will settle
this question and allow us all in the UK to concentrate on building a
stronger and better united kingdom.
