That goes to the heart of the issue though doesn’t it - can you really co-opt any person’s vote at a general election for a single issue? Have you ever been 100% in favour of a party’s manifesto without reservation or is it more likely a decision based on the substance of what they’re offering underpinned by the basic principles of the party in question?
And even if the SNP reduces its manifesto to a one line ‘vote us = vote yes’, can they really claim in one vote to have unpicked the complex reasons why people vote as they do?
