“Jeremy Corbyn in the Labor Party, could fight a lot.”

“Definitely. I think.”

“So there wouldn't be the referendum? ““I think Jeremy Corbyn could, but the chances that Jeremy Corbyn also be the elected in the office are minimum.”

Jeremy Corbyn was elected Labor leader almost a year after the question of independence captured the nation. For many no-voters it is still far too soon. “I think that the next generation is to grow up and then have a think of vote. I think it's twenty years minimum.”

“Really?”

“Yeah.” The SNP will soon lay out how a second referendum may happen, at the same time that offering the hand of friendship to Labor -- the party they trance to the polls in May. “We think Jeremy Corbyn’s probably voted to the SNP more than any other Labor at MP, he is not the leader. So it's a challenge. If he can bring his party with him on the things he believes in, which…and many not do, or by any enemies, but many of the same as us, then perhaps we can have the opportunity of genuine progress of lines that we spoke about at the election.”

But if Jeremy Corbyn really does keep his promise of resurrecting Labor here, the SNP may have a fight on their hand.

“I can't point to a single progress of SNP policy and that's part of the problem. So what we need to do is recognize that the issue is in Scotland, and live and the land, the Labor Party's farthings are far more connected to what happened in the referendum last year. And the job that Jeremy and I have to undertake now is to X voters X yet unknown referendum last year.”

For decades the flow of Scottish politics through towns like Paisley was relatively predictable. ““The pace of change over the past twelve months has been nothing short of extraordinary. If we are to get referendum two in Scotland, and it is perhaps five, ten years down the line, then predicting how the political landscape will look is almost impossible.” Next year the Scottish elections will be one of the first hurdles for all sides. That will take place in an era where political certainties seem almost old-fashioned.
