If ever there was a time for them all to pull together this is it.
After Independence they can split and fight away for themselves.

It could also be Nicola righteously kicking ass, time will tell.

Salmond could be a huge thorn in Sturgeon & the SNP's side for a while, he will undoubtedly be assisted by all pro-union media. Sturgeon gets brought down and it's hard to see who else can deliver Independence.

The dark forces are amassing. The shit is hitting the fan in Scotland with the SNP & our Nicola being accused of all sorts of skullduggery. Andrew Neil is on a mission, his twitter feed is worth a read.

Salmond's coming across as a thoroughly despicable character, arrogantly whining about this and that procedure, ranting about conspiracies, meanwhile left in the shadows is the testimony of 9 women that did not prove conclusively in a court of law that he abused them.  Yet the testimony still stands and the women stand firm together behind that testimony not a part of any conspiracy to frame him.
He's a little fat bully boy  with no evidence.

Sturgeon has been lying through her teeth

Funny how it all comes to a head at a time when the SNP are preparing for what should be a landslide election, and onwards to increased demands for an IndyRef2.  Coincidental, I'm sure! ...

Is Alex the Denis Donaldson of the Scottish Independence Movement. Some timing all this. Maybe even a Stakeknife

Both who, at life's end were tagged with the highest status of ignomy.

Eloquently put Main Street. Just wonder what dark arts are at play some times.

   Michael Keating, author of a forthcoming book on the fracturing union, said support for independence was being driven by Brexit, growing political identification with Scotland and the alienation of many Scots from successive UK governments.

"The fortunes of the SNP or individuals may affect the precise timing . . . but there are forces that are pulling the union apart that are much more powerful than any of these day-to-day events," Keating said.

Could Scotland regain independence, join the EU and remain a member of the Commonwealth?

I don't see why not?

Could Scotland regain independence, join the EU and remain a member of the Commonwealth?

Lengthy process for countries who are looking to join EU, takes the guts of 20 years IIRC.

[Rossfan]

Depends when Scotland becomes Independent.
Early and they'll be fast tracked into EU (as a former part of it and a replacement for "U"K.)

The more support for Independence the more the dirt will be thrown by the BRITISH BC, other Media and useful renegade Scots.
