Memo to the SNP

Look guys, stop messing about. Either you'll have a referendum within four years or you won't. It's time to make your mind up. You can't have it both ways. The Scotsman reports:

PRESSURE was growing on the SNP last night to "come clean" on whether the party is willing to shelve a referendum on independence in return for getting into government.
John Swinney, the party's former leader, yesterday would not confirm that the SNP's current policy of a referendum in the first four years is "non-negotiable", and Mr Salmond was "unavailable" to comment.
Mr Swinney's failure to take a clear position on the matter came after Sir Tom Farmer, who recently gave £100,000 to the party, told a Sunday newspaper that if Alex Salmond, the leader of the SNP, wins power in May he will delay the commitment to independence for at least four years in order to prove what they can do in government first.
However, hours after Mr Swinney avoided the question, panicked press officers made the official line clear.
"It is a non-negotiable policy commitment to be delivered in the four-year term," said a spokesman.

You have had plenty time to think about it. Can we now have some clarity on your position?
