I don't find this surprising. There is some skepticism amongst Scottish voters that the SNP, the party that wants Scotland to be independent from the UK, plans to make Scotland prosper economically independently seem farfetched since one common criticism amongst Pro UK parties is that SNP rely too much on Scotland's oil reserves.
