One of the problems in Scottish politics right now, is that a substantial number of people who held those attitudes then, are still around and active now, still holding the opinion that devolution is meaningless and determined to make sure it fails, and with absolutely zero inclination to make it work, which ends up screwing everyone.
Leaving devolution in the hands of the SNP is like buying a second hand car for a spoilt teenager , which whilst not being perfect is a perfectly serviceable solution.
They might then think if they can just scuff the wheels on the curb and grind the gears enough then mummy and daddy might relent and buy them another one that better matches their idea of perfection.
“Mummy and daddy” in this example being the Scots people who voted for devolution in 1997 and voted to continue it in 2014. Not because we thought it was perfect, but because (as someone said about democracy) it’s the worst system , apart from all the other systems.
