How does the SNP manage to retain any support in Scotland?
Because it preys on the braveheart mentality, it's all sentiment over anything quantifiable. So many people will automatically hate down south and blame them for anything going wrong.
It's pretty toxic that they have so much support regardless. But I admire how they've managed to rebrand themselves away from the thugs and Torys in kilts and win over so many of the younger generation, even if it's to their detriment.
There was a SNP thread here and it was full of people repeating SNP propaganda despite the claims not really adding up to scrutiny.

Like people praising the "world leading" alcohol measures by the SNP, which they only have because Scotland leads the world for alcohol measures. But I guess it sounds good if you only show half of the picture.
England has probably played it well to now introduce masks to give the illusion of doing something. If there's that many cases in Scotland adding the 8 day test isn't going to make much difference.
