She's probably chosen the timing so that Scotland would remain in the EU if it voted yes since article 50 negotiations would still be ongoing by that point, which makes sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She outlined that she wants it by the time the direction of Brexit is known but before it's too late to drag us down with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afro Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 My gut feeling is that it's been called too soon - surely, calling one after Brexit would make it a slam dunk, no? Whilst I'd personally vote Yes again, I can't help but feel a lot of people across the Yes/No/Don't Know spectrum won't want more uncertainty. Of course, looking at it from another angle, calling it before the UK leaves the EU would probably mean some sort of succession deal is in place for Scotland, hence the decision to hold it before Brexit? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. With the massive uncertainties over Brexit already ongoing it makes sense to settle all the constitutional questions together. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 As much as I'm looking forward to the #scenes over the next year or so there really won't be much in this. I know a few people that have switched from No to Yes but it's by no means a mass change of heart - yet. If we think Unionists threw the kitchen sink at it last time we ain't seen nothing yet. This will be ugly as f**k. Can't wait 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I'd personally vote Yes again, I can't help but feel a lot of people across the Yes/No/Don't Know spectrum won't want more uncertainty. But by calling it before Brexit, she can make the argument that it's between two uncertainties. Last time, people voted for the status quo. This way, they can't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gavin_3110 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 More vague talk from Sturgeon and the SNP on how exactly the scenario she's hell-bent on would be realized. I just love constitutional wrangling and playing the blame game. Don't think we've had anywhere near enough of it in recent years between Sturgemond and Farage and co. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooky Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I can't see Theresa May granting one whilst she's in the middle of negotiating Article 50. I sense Sturgeon is fully aware of this though and wants to use it as ammunition if May says she needs to wait until post-March 2019. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
