'Home rule' should be considered in Scottish independence debate, Labour MSP says

control is with the full powers of independence. However, Alex Rowley clearly recognises Scotland’s right to choose its own future in a referendum so he should be demanding his boss, Anas Sarwar, dumps his Donald Trump policy of denying clear democratic election results delivered by the people of this country.”

Party leader Anas Sarwar has consistently ruled out backing a second referendum. When asked on the Sunday Show if he believed an independence referendum should be “categorically” ruled out over the next 10 years, he said: “We said right at the start of the election campaign that we believe the focus of this Parliament should be on our recovery and that’s why we didn’t support a referendum.

“On the principle of Scots having a right to choose, of course I believe that Scots have a right to choose. But basically, during term we should be focusing on recovery.” Sarwar also stated he will be “setting out in a couple weeks’ time” his vision for alternatives to a second independence referendum, stating that Labour wants to demonstrate that “the next electoral context is going to be a general election”.

“[We want to show] what voting Labour in that general election means and what change looks like right across the United Kingdom, to what change looks like for people in Scotland”, Sarwar said.
