    Sorry I didn't realise she said sovereignty means sovereignty as well ... well at least we're getting somewhere I spose, and sovereignty does fit in with Brexit meaning Brexit I spose

    well Nicola will never say sovereignty means sovereignty as she wants to get rid of it in a smooth transition from rule by the UK to rules by 28 different random countries

    We will surely never cope making our own decisions, those old technocrats in Brussels will be sorely missed, independence is not something we will manage by ourselves, we'll be 'isolated' arf.

    The Scots wont vote for independence as they see the UK prospering as a confident sovereign nation. I'd never say never, but not for the foreseeable.

    Sorry to be blunt Conrad but we already HAVE voted against independence.

    Why are people finding it difficult to realise MOST Scots appreciate the benefits of the union?

    Don't think multiple postings on this thread by some here is an indication that independence is popular; its not!

    I said on here last year that my sense is Scots are not minded to want Indepdnence and that the bulk of posts on The Scotsman reflect this, but I was told I'd misread things and The Scotsman was niche

    She didn't say she won't hold one in 2018 though did she ? That's when a few on here ( myself included) suggest one should happen ... I reckon approx 18 months after article 50 has been triggered ( maybe a tad earlier weather wise) others suggest different dates

    But the fact she has said it hopefully means labour and the Tories will now stop bleating on about taking a referendum off the table ... that gets awfy boring to hear after a while
