The problem is that 30 short months ago, a sizable majority of voters in Scotland chose to remain as a part of the UK. You may recall this event.
Now, Sturgeon is making the point that since that vote, circumstances have changed.
That is true, but the reason it has changed is as a result of Brexit. Still keeping up?
Now it makes perfect sense, bearing in mind all the uncertainty that the whole Brexit process has produced, not to ask the good folk of Scotland to make a binding, potentially irreversible decision, in advance of all the negotiations being finalised.
After that, and only at that point, can they make a truly informed choice. Seems sensible to me.

SNP (56) Conservative (1) Labour(1) Lib Lem(1)
The Scottish election led to the following CONSTITUENCY seats (might be 1 or 2 out on this but even you should get the drift) SNP (52) Conservative (7) Labour (3)
So, regardless of whether or not you agree with them, and as a Union Jack waving loony who clearly yearns for the days of the empire, I can understand that you don't, but you are in absolutely no position to question their mandate to pursue anything.
Actually repeating a Theresa May soundbite is even more laughable. Have a word with yourself.When freedom comes along, don't PISH in the water supply.....Comment

Originally posted by scooterscot View PostFor those with access to history books it is all too clear protectionism leads to fewer choices. The UK is entering a protectionist era. Jesting aside, I sincerely wish Scotland chooses a different path. To be denied that path is tantamount hostility.
You know I want Scottish independence.
Interested to know why you want it?Comment

Originally posted by Chuck View PostOh stop with the drama queen nonsense. Nobody has said there won't be a second referendum, just that there will not be one during the Brexit negotiations. Surely that is entirely reasonable?

That is exactly what the people of the UK were asked to do. Make a vote based on unknowns to the power unknown with no facts topped off with a lie filled campaign."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

I should have added, a plethora of lies from both sides.
