I think the point is not where a politician or PM comes from but what their priorities are and what they put first - party or country! And the facts are that a big portion of Scots trust the SNP to work for Scotland more than they do the other parties. I've seen it myself how ministers can look to actively work against their own country.

I would think that whatever the result of the referendum was all politicians would work for Scotland and stand up for Scotland's interests! However I saw the opposite. I was at a dinner where David Mundell was guest speaker. There was a story, which was later shown to be false, that Spain would look to block Scottish entry to the EU.

Now Mundell could have taken the tact about warning that it may be difficult to gain entry because of this threat. However he didn't. He was rubbing his hands in glee, laughing, and stated "we've found an ally in the Spanish PM" to loud applause from the mostly elderly Tory audience. I was astonished that a Scottish member of the UK gvt was applauding a foreign politician who he thought was threatening to work against Scotland. More than astonished I was disgusted.

Even in this campaign the english Tories have been spinning anti-Scottish rhetoric to English voters for months now. Led to believe that Ruth Davidson was livid but no current Scottish Tory politician stood up for the legitimacy of Scottish members at Westminster. Likewise Labour did not condemn it either. Only retired unionist politicians spoke out (Michael Forsyth, David Steel, Henry Mcleish etc)

So sorry many Scots (and I know it is not all) just see the politicians as being more interested in short term party interests and long term careers in the Lords etc than they do in actual Scottish interests.
