SNP CALLS FOR 'OPTIMISM' -

The Scottish National Party, whilst launching their manifesto for the forthcoming Parliament elections, have stated that Scots should possess optimistic feelings relating to their nation. Mr Swinney (the leader of the SNP) commented that Scotland had 'great potential'. Whilst I dislike the notion of the UK breaking up, I do concede that Scotland could be a successful sovereign state. Nonetheless if there ever was an SNP government in an independent Scotland, they must revise their policies pertaining to business and the economy.
