It is now beyond any doubt that there exists a serious lack of political will within the Scottish Government and the leadership of the SNP to make progress on Independence. The lack of preparation on getting the structures and institutions in place, the pushing away of the Independence movement and the other pro Independence parties, the pursuit of a policy agenda that at best looks timid at best. This is not a government that will challenge established power to protect Scottish interests whether it be in staying in the EU or the single market or in other areas of Scottish public life affected by the legislative aftermath of the EU vote. I could draw up quite a list of things that worry me about the leadership and direction of the only political party I have voted for during my 51 years of life but it is that lack of political, the constant of not doing things, the deliberate refusal to make progress or challenege power. The question that comes to mind is why?
