FINALLY, the end of Schrödinger’s Election approaches, an election where independence is everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Infuriatingly, all we’ve heard is the word "independence", but we’ve seen none of the detail. Like it or not, this is the "Independence Election"; Thursday’s vote sets the stage for constitutional crisis. That much we can depend upon. The Holyrood vote is essentially a proxy poll on indyref2. However, we end this election – arguably the most important in the nation’s history – with no substantive discussion about what independence really means. The notion of independence permeates this election. In a nutshell, the narrative has been fairly straightforward: if there’s a majority of Yes parties in Holyrood, Scotland’s Government will ask the Tory administration in London for a referendum once the pandemic is fully over. Unionists say no, now isn’t the time.
