With their devolved administration powers why doesn't the SNP try to govern Scotland properly rather than constantly ranting on about independence?

Don't be taken in by Brexiteer lies, the actual number of EU regulations requiring Britain to make new law is 13%. much of it is already covered by UK law, and much of it doesn't apply to Britain, such as regulationsof an olive oil industry we don't have. It's specious BS.
Scotland (not just the SNP) is fed up with being sidelined as a junior partner. Sturgeon has spent the time since the Brexit vote knocking on Downing Street's door to open negotiations on behalf of the nation who voted stay, and has found that door slammed shut. May has merely compounded the alienation already felt by the reneging on the promises made by the Tory government to the Scots during the indyref.
we would have won it was central to their campaignEvery district in Scotland voted to stay in Europe. Had Brexit been on the table before the referendum the result might have been very different.
You appear to have missed the "administrative rules" part of the sentence. At least 60% of laws and administrative rules originate there.
And most you already had... all that is been done is to harmonize the rules across the EU. And again it is not 60%, far far far from it.
I see no reason to think we already had them, and the laws and rules are certainly not just harmonisation by most people's definition - like when the EU randomly banned open sauce containers in restaurants (one of the few directives quickly overturned by public clamour). 60% is probably a conservative estimate.
If, as a slave, my master mostly chooses for me the options I would have chosen anyway, that does not mean I am not a slave.
I'd be more sympathetic to the SNP if they didn't seem to want to break away from the UK only to throw themselves at the feet of the EU. At least have a little bit of self-respect and try to stand up for yourself as an independent nation.
Excellent point.Scotland needs permission from Westminster to hold an independence referendum. The United Kingdom didn't need permission from Brussels to do theirs.
Its a stolen point I must admit.Excellent point.

Hope you're keeping well Andy.
They're not really the same, and no amount of questionable stats and graphs change the reality.
