Welcome yourself into the new modern crisis
Ooh, I quite like Sturgeon's attitude. Give us a referendum or I will make independence the only SNP policy at the next election. Fun times ahead.

So it looks like it's not on until the Supreme Court say if it's on, but then if it's not on then next general election, it's on.

Kinda. As I understand it, it's on unless the Supreme Court say it's not on (because apparently the Scotland Act 2016 means Holyrood can legislate for any vote - including a referendum) but if the SC says that's not the case, it demonstrates the lack of democracy in the supposedly voluntary nature of the so-called 'union of equals' that is the UK.

What could throw a huge fly into a vat of sticky stuff is the UK's detemination to withdraw from the ECHR, in a typical childish hissy fit.

The ECHR is written into the 1997 Scotland Act, that set up Holyrood. Pulling out of the ECHR will breach that act and the 1997 Scotland Act is internationally recognised. So that'll be 2 international treaties that the traitors on Downing Street have broken.

No change there then, if we look at the state of health, education and crime in Scotland, I think it is their only policy at the moment.

So you'll be one of those experts on Scottish politics, then.

Lived experience, is it?

It’s also going to be so sweet if Johnson is ousted as a result of his own MPs changing the rules to get in another no confidence vote as they don’t like the result of the first one. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
