Urquart. I reckon people who are obviously on the SNP left, such as Sandra White, might think about leaving for a new Scottish Labour type party, which forms after independence. I suspect senior politicians, such as Nicola Sturgeon and Alex Neil, were not too enthusiastic about the new NATO policy, but they probably will stay within the party for at least a few terms. I definitely think there is room for a party between the SSP, Greens and the SNP. I would think a new Scottish Labour Party would be well placed to fill this space. They could push for more radical land reform, trade union rights, less inequality etc. You would obviously have a Conservative type party on the right, led by Murdo Fraser, and it would probably be joined by politicians from the SNP right wing after a few terms, people like Angus Robertson, John Swinney and perhaps the more right-wing members of Labour MSPs (there is a fair number at present). The SNP after independence would likely continue to go in a pro-big business direction. This might lead to further departures, of those more connected to social issues, such as Nicola Sturgeon, who might think about leaving after the first term if this occurs. If there is a Yes vote I would not be surprised if the present younger Westminster Labour politicians, such as Douglas Alexander, Murphy, sit out the first term, but think about standing for a second term. Whether Alexander, Murphy etc would be welcomed
