SNP has a distinct cause but I doubt they'll be able to vote on it anytime soon, I also think we will revisit the EU debate in the distant future, a side rant though, I absolutely despise the question that is asked in every single UK debate of "would you launch a nuke" it's such a f*cking stupid question. |
Our last president openly threatened to use nuclear weapons on more than one occasion. I think it's a good idea to know just how insane someone is before you elect them.
But yeah, the SNP's cause of course isn't something I see happening in the near term either. But it's something distinguishing about them and a good cause, IMO.
