@JackTheCat while I agree with most of that, it's only half the story. SNP has held power in Holyrood for a very long time. Point to the big changes they have made in the areas where they have total control. They basically just held onto the UK model of doing everything when they had the opportunity to do things differently in areas like education, land reform, etc etc. The ambition, or was it the imagination, just wasn't there.
