Given the biased nature of your front page it is obvious that you have an agenda to undermine the SNP and Scotland's aspirations towards normal international status. Every other country around the world is independent and none of them would want powers taken away from them. What makes us uniquely incompetent to run our own affairs? 
 
The unionist case depends on Scotland being outvoted 10-1 on defence and foreign affairs, some great deal! As for the SNP's 'broken promises' yes that's what we read in the Scotsman on a daily basis however as the SNP are a MINORITY Government they require the support of the other parties to get legislation through the parliament. The unionists combined to force through the Edinburgh Trams which has meant that this money could not be spent in other areas. 
 
Nonetheless the SNP has brought through a number of pieces of progressive legislation and their ambition for Scotland is a sharp contrast to Labour and the other unionist parties.

The reasons behind the SNP 'not delivering' what they promised are for two-fold. 1. The psuedo Scots e.g. those Labour, Tory and Liberal MSPs have no desire to see Scotland move forward or for the Scottish People to become 'independent in mind' and therefore they have thwarted all the policies that the SNP have put forward and 2. These same folk will do anything to undermine by insult or insinuation that anyone that 'talks-up' Scotland and its people are insincere, whereas, these same Labour, Tory and Liberals are the very ones that are insincere...they have no integrity and are only involved in politics to feather their own beds through manipulation of governmental financies. NB, if 340,000 Luxemburgians can govern their own country then I think that Scotland can easily manage the with 5.1 million.

Andrew Scott talks about 2 promises which caused chaos in the OIL CAPITAL of scotland with homeless projects forced to take to the street due to funding cuts via snp policy. The police numbers are bogus as the retired number produced a status quo in actual numbers. Optimisim is one thing but blind hope in a party dubbed nonsensical by polititians and industry is another. Do you know that FM presented a scotland filled with english business men in kilts to the china now gathering in edinburgh?

The list of so-called 'broken promises' contains some which have already been delivered on (council tax freeze, police numbers) and all remain aspirations of the minority government. Maybe we should give them a chance? NIne months is not a lot of time to create utopia! Don't be cynical - just because no other party (with any chance of being elected) made any kind of promises and aimed to "lower the expectations of the Scottish people" doesn't mean this new government won't deliver change.

The Scottish political experience looks extremely shallow now as it has been proven that we have no clear idea of what we REALLY expect from our political parties and no system or energy to challenge them when it is clear there is something wrong. I thought Scotland was all about people, innovation and passion...where has it all gone? The SNP budget has been questioned by institutions as well as other parties...to no avail. In fact the SNP relied on the conservative vote to push their budget!!!

Discovering that the political process is vague and combative failing to deliver clear messages or actions to takle the financial devide is quite demoralising but to find that there are no voices out there who can be bothered to comment, well, what's the point? If the settled will of the Scottish people has settled so deep it is now sleeping in a chair somewhere then what's the point of all the noise about politics. Why bother, why comment...because power should always be surrounded by witnesses
