I'd like to ask the panel a serious question for a change. What's behind the recent surge in Scottish nationalism?

I would have thought that, if this was going to happen, it would've happened during the darkest days of Thatcherism - yet there was no clamour for Scottish independence at the time. What's changed in the meantime to cause the huge rise in support for the SNP?

Because Labour have been shown to be big fat liars?

I'm not sure if it's nationalism or just that people have, as a result of the referendum, become more politically aware and more active. Given that it's a straight fight between SNP and Labour in Scotland people are turning to the SNP as a way of venting their spleen at Westminster and the WM parties.

I know lots of people who are voting SNP who wouldn't call them nationalists.
