I know what you are saying, jfman, about it not being put across to the general public via mainstream media etc, but it's definitely a policy.
Our manifesto is the most radical, hopeful, people-focused, fully-costed plan in modern times. It has a £100billion investment plan for Scotland, a plan that will be transformational for our communities.

Sounds like a reasonably compelling policy - didn’t hear it mentioned once in 2017. Heard monotone Richard Leonard say we are tired about talking about independence plenty of times. Yes Richard, we are tired of hearing you talk about independence, move on. Trying to out-Tory the Tories on the union is (and remains) a waste of time.
The independence movement isn’t one big homogenous voting group, and a significant proportion are less than 10 years in the ‘movement’. There’s also (not many but they’re out there) no voters who just think the SNP provide the best government. But if nobody is selling them an alternate vision of Scotland then they will eventually stick.
