The division will not go away or be 'healed' without a resolution to the reasons why that division exists
IT is demonstrated once again that Scotland is broadly evenly split on independence. The opposition parties exploit this by maintaining that division.
Their problem is that they fail to understand that a split of opinion like this can never be resolved while fact-based reasonable opinion remains untested.
What they are promoting instead is that because the split exists, we are going to impose the status quo regardless. If that split was more polarised there is a case for that position, but it isn’t, and all the while the perceived injustices and constraints continue, then there will always be a demand for radical change.
