Does it really??? And how democratic do you think that process and response is!!!???

According to Nicola herself it still requires Government approval to hold a referendum!! Unless you want to do it illegally like the Catalans did, that will keep them bogged down for years and would likely do the same for you as well. Do it the right way, cement the mandate at the next election, win back the seats lost at the last GE and then put the pressure on Westminster to allow a referendum.

I don't care how democratic the response is, the law of the Union should be adhered to, it has a mechanism to allow a referendum, use that law. Also lets not forget that democracy was applied in 2014 and the Scottish public voted to remain in the Union. I accept the potential exit from the EU changes things but as Nicola said we have to let that play out first an then see where we stand.

I have no problem with Scottish independence, I don't want it to happen because I think the union is stronger with you in it, but its up to you at the end of the day. But it needs to be done right, if it isn't how do you think the divorce negotiations will go for you, Westminster will hold all the cards and the grudge to go with it and that's something you should avoid to get the right deal.
