However the statement as given related to the “great many” of the electorate.

When we could, and perhaps even should, reflect on the fact that the SNP Government in Scotland enjoys the highest confidence among the electorate of any elected government in this great land the definition of “great many” leaves the rest trailing in their blaze.
“Enjoys the confidence of” is a bit of a stretch. “Wheesht fur indy” is not a new concept in Scottish politics. The SNP’s fortunes are aligned with confidence in the Labour Party as an effective opposition to the Tories, and with the level of interest in Scottish independence as a thing.
