They really think that we are all raving Unionists just because we oppose NS.  Thats a cult for you.  Btw not thats there anything wrong with being a Unionist ie supporting the union.

Yes this may pull them in a  good amount of votes if they play it right. Sturgeon and Starmer have got it wrong big time on this issue and hopefully it cost them votes. Unfortunately i dont think there is an ALBA candidate in my area. 

[JudyJudyJudy]

Some of the comments from her supporters are beyond comedy gold.  Dearie me. To be fair to her well played by writing the tweet  However certainly some roasters in her support judging by the comments . Scary to think that they want an Indy Scotland. I can imagine the cultural landscape if any of them had any influence in Govt

As I said on the other thread you tried this on, the SG have started a public enquiry process. Rightfully, the truth will out.

 

Meanwhile Spaffer still sticks to the line of 'now is not the time' and Hancock is out blaming PHE and anyone else he can think of.

Having  just watched the STV news, and the leading report was how the Scottish Government have been ordered, yes I use the word ordered to release documents relating to the legal advice they received regarding a second independence referendum.

After they refused for over a year the freedom of information request from the Scotsman newspaper.

Again all this proves to me a mere voter, is that ALL POLITICAL parties are the same in that they lie, obfuscate and

Are all hypocrits, who believe the electorate are all buttoned up at the back.

Scottish ministers will be forced to publish legal advice they received around a second independence referendum amid accusations of “stifling scrutiny” following a ruling the government breached Freedom of Information legislation.

Very fair comment 

[manaliveits105]

Nicola Sturgeon said a referendum would have to be "entirely legal and constitutional"

The government refused, arguing that it would breach legal professional privilege.

 

Last week, following an appeal by the newspaper, the information commissioner said the "exceptional" public interest in seeing the advice outweighed the legal privilege.

Asked whether the advice would now be published, Ms Sturgeon said the government would respond to the ruling by 10 June.

"The reason we are considering this carefully is the long-standing convention, not just in Scotland, but across the UK and probably most other countries in the world, that routinely governments don't publish legal advice because we put a lot of value on the ability to get free and frank legal advice," she said.

"So if we are to depart from that convention, it's quite a significant thing, it goes against precedent and we want to consider that carefully.

"But we act in line with freedom of information law, and that law sets out the process that we are currently going through."

Ms Sturgeon said she had no interest in a referendum that was not entirely legal and constitutional.

 

'Front-line services'

"I only want a referendum that is capable of delivering independence, which means it has to be legal, it has to be constitutional and it has to lead to a majority of people in Scotland voting for independence," she said.

The SNP leader said her immediate focus was in fighting the local elections on Thursday, and that she was campaigning for as many SNP votes as possible.

?????????????????????  So in other words the polls will only indicate when a Ref is called ?  The polls which mainly say more people are NO and also there is not even an appetite for a vote either.?  Sounds like she is trying to wiggle out of it

Looks like she got the legal advice and it made it crystal clear that holding a referendum without Westminster granting a Section 30 wouldn't be legal or stand up to a legal challenge.

 

If the advice was otherwise she would have told us the same day.

See this is the bit I dont understand.  NS and the SNP know there is going to be a lenghty and possible courtroom battle to get the section 30 so why delay requesting it ?  She is quite rightly saying that the Ref needs to be of legal standing. Totally agree. IM just very suspicious in the delay in requesting the section 30.   This is the ideal time to request it due to the turmoil down South.

Depends on the timeframe. The vast majority of Indy supporters I know don’t want one in the next two years. 2025-2028 would be ideal. Any longer than that and support would definitely start to drift.
