The SNP celebrates everyone IN Scotland
LOL. The SNP is effectively a faith-based movement. "militant politics of sectional advantage", as the New Statesman put it.
Everything they do is with the goal of nationalism in mind. They claim to be the real voice of Scotland but they do this by cultivating a populist attitude that is sectarian at best and totalitarian at worst. You're either with them or against them, the only way to be truly Scottish is their way. The idea that they celebrate everyone in Scotland is utterly ridiculous.

A few comments...
The SNP celebrates everyone IN Scotland...also when they are immigrants. Contrast with Tories atm.
Scotland is in deep disagreement with Westminster and how it runs things. I can't abide it either ATM but even with devolved power you have to suck things up.
Like Northern Ireland and Wales, it does not have enough people to win on votes in matters as Brexit.
I can totally understand the Scots here. Does it divide the UK more? Yes, but it's really not in Scotland's interests to be pulled out of the Single Market, it made that super clear several times and May just steams on.
Will it work? I don't know, independence may just not work for several reasons. But really, Westminster shows little love for North England, NI/Scotland/Wales, so it's not coming out of a vacuum.
