Tbh with you, I'm not really sure what the others may have up their sleeve as far as policies go, but id assume it would be to fix the education and health service as a priority, because its totally knackered in Scotland, SNP have mismanaged Scotland for thirteen years, and without handouts from the UK govt would be down the tubes years ago.

I don’t need to justify a point I didn’t make - so why would I waste my energy? “One in a generation” has no legal or constitutional basis. It was a politician on a stump speech. Circumstances change.
To quote Farage he didn’t think if Brexit lost 52-48 that would be the end of it. As long as people support the parties campaigning for these changes then they are entitled to keep the issues on the table. That’s democracy in action, and people get to reject independence as much as they please if they want.

The average voter doesn’t read through party manifestos. They become aware of policies from media coverage, sound bites and active campaigning on these issues.
If I don’t know any, and Mad Max can’t name any, and we’re both sitting on the current affairs forum. There’s a problem.
You’d never vote Labour but I bet you could name policies you disagreed with at the General Election. I may be doing you a disservice, because you are politically aware, but I doubt you had to read the manifesto to find out the bits you disagreed with.
