the 'middle ground' changes nothing. The middle ground didn't bring the NHS or our social services.

Britain voted Brexit on the back of English votes. Scotland does not want that. So Sturgeon is setting out her stall and saying 'well if Westminster wants a hard Brexit we may well want to leave the Union.' It places may in a difficult position as a result.

Its not difficult to understand.

While I get what you mean, the middle ground changes everything in so much as in general without the support of the middle ground then it becomes very difficult to win an election and put yourself in a position to change things.

Sturgeon is doing exactly what she should do. She is flexing the only muscle she really has, which is the Brexit vote showed the majority in Scotland want to stay in the EU, although equally the majority also showed they want to stay part of the UK!! It does throw up an interesting position going forward and maybe ultimately she will get her one true aim of another referendum to leave the UK should the Brexit deal not be in Scotland's favor in her opinion.
