Re: UK Referendum on Scottish Independence

You left out an important part of Ruth's speech weedeek. Just to make it clearer what Ruth was trying to say:-

“Let me be clear: nobody, not me, not anyone, is expecting the SNP to give up on independence. That is what it believes in and it is a perfectly honourable position to take. What people do expect is that, right now, the SNP gives Scotland a break. Simply put, Scotland has had its fill.

“We need to focus on the challenges we face on education, on NHS funding, on the new tax and welfare powers – as well as the huge challenge of Brexit.

“Nobody will condemn the First Minister if she now decides to re-set her course. This is her opportunity to do so - and I urge her to take it immediately. She must take it off the table.”

Re: UK Referendum on Scottish Independence

No, YOU don't want a referendum, but that doesn't mean others don't. Typical 'nasty party' selfishness, 'I'm all right jack, pull up the ladder'.

Re: UK Referendum on Scottish Independence

UJ... Nicola Sturgeon knows if she held a second referendum now she would lose. That is why she is waiting to see if she can use Brexit to gather more support. Post no 69# was a small selective segment from Ruth Davidson's speech after the SNP's setback at the last UK election.
