Isn't that obvious, the SNP only exists for one thing only and that's to break away from the rest of the UK, they are totally a one policy party.

If it wasn't achievable there would be no point in carrying on.

I don't think that's necessarily true, they have a proven record in a position of power, they're not a wishy-washy "all talk" party like UKIP or the Greens these days (big ideas for policies but currently all hypothetical). In the absence of independence their goal is putting local concerns of Scottish people first, and IMO they have been doing so since they got into power in Edinburgh.
