0762 and hibeejim21 - I respect your views on the wisdom of using the oft-quoted phrase, but it does appear in the official Scottish Government document and is not misused.

I would imagine that many days and weeks were spent on the preparation of the document, both from a political and legal viewpoint, so it's clear to me that the choice of words was deliberate. Both Alex and Nicola would be to the fore in these discussions as well as high ranking advisers before anything was published, so it is indeed "nuts" to suggest that they really meant something else. We will probably have to wait another 5 years before we have another UK election because of what's happened in the past. We had to wait from 1975 until 2016 to have an EU Referendum because of what's happened in the past. That's how Governments work.

Nicola, Ian Blackford and Co are merely continuing their policy of rabble-rousing while doing very little of any substance. Nicola is requesting/demanding IndyRef2, knowing full well that it will be rejected yet again. In my opinion it will not be until after the 2021 Holyrood elections before she feels able to be more assertive and take matters into her own hands.
