You're confusing the proportion of Scots who want independence with the proportion of MSPs who want independence.
Because representative democracy isn't perfect, often the opinions of politicians differ from those of the people who they are supposed to be representing. I believe that Greenpeace is running a campaign citing this phenomenon at the moment, about Trident. (Not the chewing gum).
So I say again. If a majority of Scots want independence, why shouldn't they get it?
