The danger for the SNP is that in the face of Brexit they lost votes for making Independence noise, I think most Scottish voters see it for what it is. Folly.
The SNP can't make a ton of noise about how crippling it will be for Brexit to happen and then pretend the opposite will happen for Scotland if it goes independent of the UK. Their financial claims were shredded last time, any new currency would be lowly valued against the pound or the Euro too and Scottish people would face a freefalling economy, desperately resting on the years to EU membership ticking by and a physical hard border being imposed between them and England. They were better positioned last time, the SNP is simply too happy to pursue its obsession with independence over the wellbeing of the country - i.e, they're just like the Tories. All it's going to accomplish is wiping out the strength of SNP support.
