Nicola Sturgeon is playing the long game on indyref2

The Conservatives put opposition to independence at the heart of their campaign in Scotland - but lost seven seats

Throughout that decade, politicians who favoured constitutional change argued that there was a yawning democratic deficit as Scotland was being ruled by Tory governments which had little support north of the border. A debate which created an unstoppable demand for devolution. The argument over Scottish independence will not be settled anytime soon. Nicola Sturgeon will not stop pursuing her case, no matter how many times she is rebuffed by Westminster.

When the glaciers return, they'll push the English out of Scotland

Sturgeon and Scotland, your choice but remember we are Great Britain for a reason!!

Good luck to them.Who can blame them wanting to leave Little Britain to rot with the yanks.

Aye and it's getting longer, she'll be krankie in no time

Long game yeah right come back in 2050 a life time

Boring boring boring

I caught a fish this big honist

Of course she is. She’s the one that used “once in a generation”. Then again like her recent election promise to “Stop Brexit and Lock BJ out of number 10”. She has a big track record of not keen her word.

NicolaSturgeon a very very very long game

love the ode to andrew

Does the rest of the UK want Scotland: that should be the question

And what is the SNP plans for breaking away from the rest of the UK.

Like to the end of time .is that long enough

They can't have another 'Indyref' for at least ten or fifteen years. Perhaps by then, there will be a movement, for UK to rejoin the EU. If it really does turn out to be as bad as she pretends!

Hopefully, it it s the Generation Game.

Considering her height I would have thought she is better suited to the short game

She’s being helped to play the long game. It’s what they want. It keeps enough of the empty vessels on side to make all their noise, while she & the rest of them keep taking the King’s shilling.

She been calling for one since the day after the last vote🤦🏻‍♂️ piss off cranky

As a hongkonger I am jealous of her/her party’s ability to fight for more power/independence in this peaceful way. Millions demonstrated, thousands risked their lives in hk just to have a fair election/independent investigation of the police..

If Scotland declare independence, this potentially has a material impact on the rest of the country. Surely the democratic thing to do would be to give folk in England, Wales and Northern Ireland a chance to vote for Scottish Independence. 🤔

She has to. It is the only thing that keeps her relevant and a smokescreen to detract from her Government’s inability to manage and get positive results with the devolved powers that they already have. The ‘people of Scotland ‘should demand better.

NicolaSturgeon will not get another referendum from BorisJohnson until after we've all experienced post-Brexit life outside the EU for a while and the SNP scaremongering has been proved wrong.

Wish she would just fuk off with this shite 🙈🙈🙈🙈

Well You dealt her the cards!

I guess being subsidised is not so bad. Independence or subsidies. Win win 😏

Let her continue 2 play 'the long game' whilst we wait patiently years upon years to see how this long-running battle pan out. Making a case for devolution isn't the same as independence. That Tory remains seemingly un-electable in Scotland isn't an automatic victory 4 Sturgeon.

Coats on a shooglie nail

I wonder if it’s sank in yet Nicola,we are leaving the EU and your coming with us 👍

Haha

Does she ever talk about anything else? The SNP is a nice money spinner for her and her husband.

If they become independent does that mean they only have access to their own income fro tax and revenues and not that of the rest of the UK ? At the moment they have no hospital car parking fees , no university costs , and don’t pay for their prescriptions all funded by us .

Long game would be as she said in 2014, up to the next generation. A way of testing the scottish people would be to dissolve Scottish parliament and stand on your policies and results so far in running scotland. That would take Boris and UK government out of equation.

Boris told it no already

Not happening Nicola..... move on......

‘Long game’ Election on Thursday, claims of mandate for independence referendum made on Friday morning!! how is that a long game ?

If you don't like the answer, just keep asking until you get what you want! Reminds me of when I wanted sweets as a kid

She cannot call a referendum without the say-so and blessing of a serving prime minister.. Boris Johnson will not allow that and that is that. NEXT

Sturgeon to set out 'unarguable' case for indyref2The first minister will claim the election result made the need for another independence vote 'overwhelmingly clear'. 'Once in a generation' How's that for unarguable! Wee Jimmy should forget independence and try and fix the failing Scottish NHS and other public services, rather than squirrelling money away for her next attempt at getting a vote in favour of independence! I do wonder if she has another vote and loses that will she demand another once in a lifetime vote?

Scottish independence: Sturgeon to demand the power to hold another referendumThe 2014 referendum was described as a 'once in a generation' vote but the SNP argues that Brexit has changed the situation. Bored hearing about you. These 'once in a lifetime' votes seem to be happening more and more, unless of cause the plebs vote the right way, in which case it will never be brought up again. Back to the supreme court.
