Independence in five years - is this what you want?

All three candidates vying to become leader of the SNP have predicted Scotland could be independent in five years. Is this what you want and has the timescale changed your mind?

All three candidates vying to become the new leader of the SNP -- and Scotland's first minister -- have predicted that Scotland could be independent in five years.  In the final televised debate of the campaign, live on BBC Scotland, the Finance Secretary Kate Forbes, the Health Secretary, Humza Yousaf, and the former minister, Ash Regan, set out their plans.   
The leadership contest was sparked by Nicola Sturgeon's surprise announcement that she was quitting as both SNP leader and Scotland's first minister after eight years in the roles.  Recent polls suggest support for independence at broadly the same level as it was when Ms Sturgeon succeeded Alex Salmond after the referendum in 2014, which saw Scottish voters reject independence by 55% to 45%. We’re asking would you welcome it and have your feelings on independence changed?
