Which political party is REALLY obsessed with independence?
The Scottish Conservatives would have you believe that the SNP will never stop going on about it, but this video from National reader Sarah Mackie might show otherwise...
Anybody who has been paying attention will know by now that opposing a second independence referendum is about the only policy that the Tories have in Scotland.
Mackie has done us all a favour by pulling together a snapshot of how often the Tories mentioned independence in Holyrood since last year - and amazingly it seems they just won't stop banging on about it.

I guess constantly going on about a "second referendum" plays better than defending the rape clause and the Brexit power grab though, doesn't it?
Maybe it's time the Tories got on with their day job.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
