You make the insinuation that 200 business leaders would vote for an independant Scotland.
I think given their strong support, I wouldn't say it is too far off the mark, no. But it isn't a direct endorsement, no. More indirect.
It doesnt mean anything of the sort. I have been happy with the SNP in the last term, I was happy to vote for them in this election but as a business owner and someone who employs 14 people, I DONT want an independant Scotland.
It all rather depends on your business and fears regarding seperation to be honest with you..
By voting for SNP it doesnt mean you agree that independance is the way forward, all it means is having a vote and letting the people decide once and for all what they want and then hopefully nationalist morons can stop banging on that its what everyone wants.
If you are talking from the non business electorate point of view I agree there are some curious disconnects that take place in Scottish/UK elections and voting practices/intentions as result of the field.
However, I would add that the nationalists aren't morons for banging on that's what everyone wants; there has been clear support for a referendum as shown by polls (even from Labour for all of 2 days before a U-U-U-turn).
Just not independence.
