Let Yes assert new indy rule – no more ref – majority votes and seats at Holyrood 2016 enough #the45

For Jim Sillars' strategy to work, the SNP's manifesto would have to say a vote for them is a vote for Indy. Good luck with that.

Queenie intervened for No as she did in 1979. So no more softly-softly – we go for Republic #the45

If you're anywhere near Jim Sillars right now, unplug his laptop. It's for his own good.
I hadn't realised it but Jim Sillars was married to Margo MacDonald, the SNP politician who sadly died earlier this year.
One of the Scottish newspaper editors said on Twitter to cut him some slack, implying that losing his wife meant he may be not at his best at the moment, and stress & the referendum may be making him a bit odd.
Or maybe he's always been a loose cannon ?
