It's difficult to argue with the content and conclusions of the lead letter in Today's Glasow Herald.

I certainly wouldn't.

@AlexGallagher The SNP could run on its record and still win the same number of seats they are forecast. It's easy enough to compare Scotland's public services to those directly under Westminster's control and show how much better off Scotland is. Both Labour and the Tories are tainted by their UK government performance.

@boggin Given the state of the polls the SNP will probably be the biggest party whatever they do. But that doesn't address the point of the letter: they have no case for independence and their position on both the economy and defence would leave the country broke and defenceless. Could you address that?

@AlexGallagher To quote the conclusion from the letter, last paragraph, "I would urge Mr Swinney to instead run on the SNP’s record over the last 19 years. Given that would present him with a different and longer list of headaches".

So, there, I did directly address the point of the letter.

@boggin Of course you didn't.

The main body of the letter was on the economy and defence and you are, quite rightly from your POV, desperately avoiding answering.

It's not your fault. There's no answer that shows Scots better off in any way. But you could at least admit I'm right and independence would be an economic and military disaster.
