Skim off the surface and really they're all the same, sadly. Politics attracts a certain type of person with a certain type of ambition and, at the end of the day, these types of people have the same outlook on life and politics. They just dress it up in slightly different ways. I vote SNP and am largely in favour of Scottish independence because I am generally in favour of devolved politics as much as possible, because the smaller the governed population, the more likely it is that people other than career politicians will have their voice heard and be in a position to make any real impact. I'd see a world of thousands of small city-states working in union, to be honest.

But yes anyway... it's not because I think SNP politicians are any different to Labour or Tory politicians. Sadly they're just more of the same. All of the smaller parties are. All of those who would claim otherwise are too (e.g. Mr Corbyn).
