The current SNP leadership is under some pressure to actually have the referendum they keep putting in their manifesto. There is also a limit to the amount of time a party can be in government before they run out of steam and I think the SNP are probably approaching that point.
Trying to have one and then failing to be allowed one is perhaps the next best thing.
A lot of that rests on the likely long-term prospects for Alba. Which probably look a little weaker than I expected them to be right now.
