It& #39;s more than possible to hold multiple ideas in our heads.
- Nicola Sturgeon is a competent FM, especially in a crisis, and a great public speaker
- SNP strategy of winning over certain key groups to indy is working
- Lukewarm approach to social democratic reform is a weakness

- Growth Commission is a millstone, this will be proven in an actual campaign when we& #39;re meant to defend it
- Building of links with national bourgeois risks a disconnect from core vote and general bad policymaking (where& #39;s our govt stake in the windfarms?!)

- But you do need to win middle class progressive votes too
- Outside investment is vital, even though it& #39;s a double edged sword as profits flow out of the country

imho Sturgeon& #39;s SNP would be in trouble from its lack of economic vision, if it weren& #39;t for Brexit, covid, and the general sense that the British state is falling to bits. But in that environment coming across as a competent and compassionate manager is rightly very popular.

evidence: 2017 westminster and council elections showed a core vote struggling to find motivation, and in some cases moving back to Corbyn& #39;s labour. Shouldn& #39;t be a surprise, people are furious. Worst decade for wages since the Napoleonic war!
