Follow-up question:

The SNP campaigned heavily to save two RAF bases that were under threat of closure. Since then, Alex Salmond has stated (to paraphrase) that 'the ideal makeup of a Scottish armed force would be 1 army base, 1 naval base and 1 RAF base'. How is this not hypocritical?

Thanks for the reply.

For those interested - I can't find a full outline of the motion online (if anyone could link me a source it would be much appreciated), but this appears to be one main point of it.

All military bases will remain in operation with Faslane becoming a major conventional naval base and home to Joint Forces Headquarters. Lossiemouth and Leuchars will both operate air force capabilities.

So the SNP appear to have backtracked on the 'one of each policy' (which hasn't been a consistent position), which sounds good to me.
