Indyref2 The Right Answer.........

[ToraToraTora]

Supreme court judges rule unanimously that the holding of a referendum is a reserved matter and thus permission is needed from the UK government.

So wee Burney said she's going to treat the next election as a defacto referendum. So she saves time on the manifesto I guess!

Nicola won’t be a happy wee bunny

I must remember to refer to Sunak as "wee". Despite being male he's only three or so inches taller than Sturgeon, so I guess he's entitled to the same petite description.

If Indyref2 IS eventually allowed the result should be enacted. If it is merely "advisory & consultative" that would encourage a Leave vote simply as another stick to beat Westminster with.

And his trousers are ankle grazers Jno ;0)

[Zacs-Master]

Politically and legally correct result.

An important decision, as usual the thread ruined by abers who take the opportunity to verbally abuse the first minister .

No doubt it will be reconsidered again after a generation from the previous one. (Provided the Scots still insist on having an anti-union party in the majority.)

[ToraToraTora]

OG, would that be a standard generation (25 years) or a Scottish one (8 years)?

[Old_Geezer]

About 3 generations per century, aren't there ?

You're at it again, Corby, and your constant stirring isn't helpful. Unlike the contributor who just joined us again and, once again, is no more, TTT is not a troll.

[naomi24]

In the wake of Brexit, I've no objection to the Scots having another referendum.

[Old_Geezer]

Not before things have settled down. Knee jerk reaction to change encourages decisions that may be regretted later.

Besides no one should want to support the EU trick of continually asking the same question until it gets the answer it was looking for, then not asking it ever again.

As I have said before, there could be votes every seven year on Ulster leaving the UK, if need be.

Why then, should that principal not apply to Scotland, especially as the previous vote was eighteen month before the Tories campaigned in a General Election promising a Brexit vote?

Blackford is in the house moaning right now! PMSL!

[roadman]

we need permission from the government to vote for a new government i do love democracy

[ToraToraTora]

Blackford: " it is right that we respect the decision of the court" - right oh! Then he sets out why Scotland should ignore it! hilarious!
