Has Humza Lost The Plot?
SNP voters are split over the party’s proposals to turn the next general election in to a de facto referendum with one in five supporting Humza Yousaf’s strategy, new polling revealshttps://t.co/EaB3vtSz4u

Humza Yousaf is having a hard time persuading even SNP voters that his 'de facto' referendum plan is anything other than bonkers.
Apparently only 1 in 5 SNP voters agree that a majority of seats in a UK general election would be a mandate for independence.
29 is a majority of the 57 seats being fought at the next general election - the SNP currently hold 48 but are widely expected to lose rather than gain seats next time round.
So Humza Yousaf is advancing a mad strategy which says the SNP could lose up to 19 seats and still be in a position to demand negotiations on independence.
Crazy or what?
