Indyref 2

Earlier this week, the UK Supreme Court ruled that there was nothing egally that the Scottish Parliament or Scotland could do regarding a new independance referendum without the consent of Westminster.

Most has seen this as a victory for the UK Government.

But, it can't really be called a Union, or political union, if one side can't leave or break the Union if it wants to.

Remember this was the whole argument two decades ago in the EU that ended up creating A50, so that a member state could decide to leave and the EU or other member states could not stop it.

So, Scotland, despite voting for a party that has independendance as it's main policy for two decades, cannot unilaterally decide to call a referendum, binding or non-binding.

Scotland was forced out of the EU by England when it voted to stay, and Westomister did not seek the Scottish Parliament's approval with conventon said it had to.

Now Westminster is going to block Indyref2.

That is a prison, not a Union, and in a democracy is not sustainable.

This just further justifies the SNP and its position.

Let my people go. If they decide to.
