Nicola Sturgeon is the only politician who seems to have a plan and is actually working now

everyone else is either hiding, at Glastonbury or have lost their voice

good on you nicky, you are showing the rest of them right up.

Looking to get the best outcome for the country you are elected to represent in a situation that country did not vote for is not 'taking advantage'. It is doing your job.

What exactly else should she be doing? Sitting and waiting to be told what to do? I don't think so.

Yes quite - is she meant to say "I can see quite clearly what the people of Scotland want and need, but I'd best hang on and see what those boys in Westminster have in mind for the country as a whole"? She's not an MP, she's the First Minister of Scotland.

She has no creditable plan ,she can't intact another referendum without Westminster agreement and to say that an independent Scotland can stay in the eu is laughable at best . I'm just surprised so many Scots are gullible enough to believe her

well she must have a twin somewhere that you've been watching roverman75, because the NS you describe isnt the one thats been on the tv the last few days

Yes, she hasn't said there will be another referendum, she's said she is putting the legislation in place to allow one to happen. The question of Westminster approval is a tricky one - I doubt anyone's got the bollocks to say no in the face of a clear mandate in a situation created by the current government.

I think the constitutional law is unclear about whether Scotland can be taken out of the EU without its consent. It's an extremely messy situation. Would it get back in if it did exit and return as an independent country? Who can say, it'd be bloody hard work. So clearly the option to push for as long as possible is that Scotland is in the EU and wishes to remain within the EU. One option which would resolve the issue would be for England and Wales to secede from the UK but I don't fancy the chances of that happening (if our own law even permits it).

She's got an approach which she can take forward which seems broadly in line with the will of the majority of people in Scotland - lucky her! The rest of us should be so lucky. The question now isn't whether Sturgeon's doing the right thing but why there's no leadership in Westminster.
