Proper hard-core seps are republican, for the most part. The GuessNP strategy is to hoodwink large numbers of ordinary voters that they can safely vote for the motion on the basis that nothing much will change, hence the promise to keep the monarchy.
In private, the seps are fuming about this because the real driving force behind separatism in Scotland is not a hankering after the good old days of Rabbie Burns, clans and crofts, it's a fairly hard left, radical urge to build a new nation state from scratch.
If you want to know what a proper hard-core separatist sounds like, read some of the proclamations from the likes of the Scottish Greens; Patrick Harvie is their leader. They're republican, if coy of saying so too loudly. Also see the Scottish Socialist Party, if you can wipe the tears of laughter away long enough to actually read their website.
