The Unionists broke no promises that I know of.

I'm happy to concede this point if someone points out a broken promise, but that's never happened.

Apart from the vow, many promises were made during the Unionists’ referendum campaign.

Better Together stated many, many times that a No vote was a guarantee of staying in the EU. Many unionist politicians made this commitment too. It was also promised that if Scotland did not leave the UK it could lead the UK and the opposite has occurred.

Unionists should have supported the Scottish Government in demanding a special EU deal for Scotland. That would have strengthened the UK considerably. Instead they largely sneered and told the rest of us it was tough ****.

Major tactical error that cannot be undone.

The Vow was kept.

We all knew an EU referendum was looming and no Unionist party ever said that we'd be guaranteed to stay in the EU despite that.  The claim was something along the lines of 'The only way to stay in the EU is to vote No' and this was absolutely true, as separation would have had us leave the EU.

The No vote absolutely allowed us to stay in the EU, but we voted to leave 2 years afterwards, in a referendum everybody knew about in 2014.

Again, if an actual broken promise is pointed out to me then I'll happily concede, but all I ever hear is manufactured grieve-spin.

Manufactured grievance ans spin is all you ever hear from them.



Wonder how the ‘power grab’ is coming along.
