Nor can Mad Max, and we've attracted some English nationalists into the thread which while I respect their right to an opinion often lack the self awareness to realise that their activity has the opposite effect that they desire.
It's not uncommon, for some, on this forum redirect the conversation from the question asked to the question they would prefer to be asked. This thread is a prime example.
Anyone got a compelling case for the union to twist back the 10-15% of "nationalists" that switched sides in the last decade?

House.
And no, the case is for separatists to make. Everyone in Scotland lives in the United Kingdom, and experiences what that’s like, every day. Separatists assert that an independent Scotland would be different and better. That’s the case to be made. Those who disagree, if they wish to engage with the debate, are in the position of evaluating sep assertions, questioning and rebutting them.
The claim that X participant in the debate has the opposite effect than they intended (where X is English, or a Scottish unionist, or some remote observer) is standard Nat waffle and not worth serious consideration.
