Of course it's rigged, Jamie.
Wastemonster arranged it that way.
That's what devolved power is all about...authority invested by Wastemonster into their Scottish branch, Holyrood, operating under English parliamentary laws and regulations, themselves retaining the important powers.
It's a foreign agency on Scottish soil and Holyrood is collaborating, contrary to Scottish law and the Scottish Constitution.
Had Sturgeon or the snp truly had Scotland's best interests at heart they would not have wasted time and money jumping through ridiculous legal hoops that were designed to lead to a dead end.
The Act of Union, 1707 is a series of articles.
Article 18 sets out clearly that the fiscal and political treaty, because that is all it ever was, nothing more, is not being signed in perpetuity, therefore either or both parties can walk away from the deal at any point they want.
Article 19 states that every man, woman and child in Scotland are Sovereigns/Lieges and so is Scotland.
As such they were, are and will always be independent.
That's why we have seperate laws, because our Sovereignty and independence are both written into our's.
England willingly co-signed their copy and our's on those terms.
England is the exact opposite.
When the nobles cornered King John, forcing him to sign the Magna Carta 1215, they not only divested him of total authority, but bestowed Sovereignty upon themselves.
They then carried that authority through to the creation of the English parliament, investing parliament with equal Sovereignty.
Remember, at that point, they were the only ones allowed to vote.
In time, rich benefactors, landowners, etc, bought their way to the vote.
The working class, the Commoners, fought battles for the right and, eventually, women fighting their own battles, finally won the right to vote.
Parliament and the Monarchy are Sovereign, neither of them truly answerable to the Commoners.
In Scotland any Scottish govt (Monarchy, too) is answerable to we Sovereigns/Lieges.
We can dismiss them without letting them finish any term they imagined they still had left to serve in office.
In the case of the Monarchy we can replace it or dispense with the office entirely.
With govt we can dissolve it, having instructed it to arrange a general election.
Should either Monarchy or govt refuse to follow our will it is an act of High Treason, according to our law!
Naturally, once we have revoked the Union, a GE will be required, within a short period of time, allowing us to shape our own future.
Can you imagine the repercussions, not just in England, but around the world, as the first true democracy in modern history emerges?
Robert the Bruce, 105 years after the Magna Carta, was nobody's fool.
He deliberately divested himself of total authority, but bypassed the nobility, bestowing the authority of Sovereignty upon the people, then put total control beyond the reach of the nobles in the Declaration of Arbroath 1320.
He made himself first among equals.
Is that ringing any bells?
We'll see a major move, later this year, when SALVO drag Wastemonster though the ICJ on charges of fraud.
Nothing will be held in camera, so the whole dirty business will be shown to the entire world.
I'm looking forward to it.
Me, I distrust Holyrood and some parties equally.
I don't gamble, myself, but hear the bookies have earmarked this year for a GE.
I'll be voting tactically, as they're all a means to an end in my eyes.
As my wee, fat maw used to say: "Why have a dog and bark?!"

My statement still stands, Jack.
The non voters hold the balance.
If they continue refusing to vote, then an snp alliance will take the day, again.
The entire nation is not obliged to vote.
All that is required is that the majority of those that do vote do so for a party determined to revoke the Union.
No law requires it must be a majority of the populace, only that it be a majority of those that vote.
Many unionists were in the older age group, seduced by promises of MaxDevo and scared by propaganda.
May they rest in peace, but many of them have passed on, since 2014, replaced by younger folk who know only Westmonster's austerity, corruption, mismanagement and so on, so they will judge on those issues.
The younger voters will also be aware of their own lack of opportunities, etc and I cannot see them as gullible enough to fall for the better-the-devil-you-know routine, as others have in the past.
Some will even be first time voters.
Wastemonster's day is almost over.
Sadly, it lacks dignity and good grace and I, personally, look forward to the coup de grace being applied, so Scotland can move forward to a brighter, better future.

@dovetonsturdee7033
I require evidence to back up the spurious claim that at least half of Scotland is in support of the Union.
That's me applying critical thinking.
I didn't state figures, the commentator did, displaying confirmation bias, ergo the onus of proof is upon them, that's how it works and you, demanding proof to the contrary on my part, is a piss poor example of constructive argument, evading the issue either out of fear of cognitive dissonance or out of ignorance.
You obviously have an oversensitive nature, if a matter of banter is, in your eyes, abuse.
This is gentle repartee by Scottish standards.

2014.
Time and circumstances have moved on in the intervening years and all of it detrimental to not only Scotland's interests, but the UK, as a whole.
62% of Scotland voted to stay in the EU.
As a consequence of Brexit the Scottish economy has suffered badly.
Even the BOE stated it was a colossal mistake to not just Scotland's economy, but the UK, too.
The billions squandered or given to friends, etc, by the Wastemonster govt, during the pandemic, not only beggars belief, but the pockets of every taxpayer.
The removal of bonus caps for bankers springs to mind, the rapid increase in taxes, in inflation, in food costs, in rents and mortgages, in utility bills, in food banks, in child poverty, in general poverty, etc bear looking at.
The Wastemonster govt is not fit for purpose.
Just a few reasons for revoking the union, you understand.
Besides, were you to know anything about Scottish law or the Scottish Constitution, you would understand that, unlike England, every man, woman and child in Scotland is Sovereign/Liege.
In other words, our govt is not, therefore is answerable to us.
If we tell it we want one referendum or ten referenda, it is obliged to carry out our will.
You can see the advantage over Wastemonster, which can and often does trample over the Commoners, I trust?
The snp is currently under investigation by Police Scotland for the sum of £600,000 mysteriously *disappearing'
Can you imagine if the people had the power to compel the English police to investigate the missing pandemic £billions?
So, to recap, the Act of Union 1707 was never anything more than a straightforward fiscal and political treaty, contrary to what many are deliberately misled into believing.
Naturally, I do not expect you to take my word for it and actively encourage you to undertake your own research into the subject.
Basically, the deal is no longer to Scotland's taste, so we intend revoking the union.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not anti English.
Few Scots are, in the same way few English folk are anti Scottish.
That doesn't suit Wastemonster and the Establishment, so they try stirring things up, as divide and conquer has proven so successful for them, throughout history.
Take the media, for example.
Let's say you buy the Mirror, for argument's sake, before getting the train from London to Glasgow.
It will have an anti Scottish slant to it.
Having read it on your journey, you might pass it on to a fellow traveller or bin it, as you alight at the station, but if you go to the newsagent on the concourse and buy the same paper, a few hours and a few hundred miles apart you will find it has an anti English angle to it.
Fact of the matter is I lived and worked in England for 30 yrs and only returned to Scotland for work.
I have family still there and friends, too.
I hope that has helped you understand a few things.

@mickyboy7586
Nonsense, Micky.
I can provide reams of evidence that proves Scotland will flourish, while England will wither.
Just look at the UK debt alone.
Wastemonster borrows, yet Scotland never recieves any of the money borrowed.
The same is true of Wales and Ireland, but let's just deal with Scotland, here.
It comprises 5.4 million people, which makes up 8.3% of the UK population, yet it pays 22% of England's debt!
And before paying that it has 1.8% of it's GDP taken by the UK defence budget.
Just look at SHELL's recent posted profits...£32.2 billion.
Scotland's oil, let's not forget, but more about that later.
Anyway, Wastemonster taxed them 75%, leaving them with £8.05 billion to pocket.
From the remaining £24.15 billion Wastemonster gave Scotland just 20%...£5.030 billion and kept the remaining £18. 837 billion!
Not to worry, though.
SALVO intend dragging them through the ICJ, later this year, on charges of fraud!
The charges will go back to the very first barrel, when Wastemonster first began lying, saying no oil was being extracted, up to the point they admitted oil was was being drawn, but lied about how many barrels, until current days, when the truth and evidence emerged.
Scotland's resources, not England's or the UK's.
Scotland outright legally owns 95% of the North Sea oil and gas fields, regardless of Wastemonster trying to illegally shift boundaries.
Funnily enough, England owns the other 5% of the fields, just no drilling, other than exploratory, has ever taken place in their area.
Payment, all the way back to the 1960s...that's a lot of cash.
Throw in the renewable energy Scotland provides to the National Grid, which we receive no payment for and, indeed, even have to pay for, when we use it, well, Scotland is energy resource wealthy.
£billions upon billions, Micky.
I think Wastemonster will be in danger of declaring bankruptcy, as I don't see how they could ever repay what's owed.
Right now the UK economy is screwed with rising inflation, energy costs, food prices, etc and I can't see any change for the better in the next decade.
They could always refuse to pay, but the IMF would automatically remove their credit rating, (currently at AA-, while Scotland's sits at AAA) which means nobody would give them credit.
I suppose they could always sell off our shared assets; Bank of England, Houses of Parliament, House of Lords, Big Ben, Downing Street, Portcullis House, all of the museums, (more, but I can't recall them right now) various estates and plots of land, in fact 18% of London.
Moving further afield, there's close to 13,900 buildings alone, plus larger estates and plots of land, including MOD, plus anything and everything on them or under them, from nuclear attack subs to paperclips.
Of course, we have to take into account the 84 embassies, situated overseas.
I totted it all up, about a decade ago, where it came out at just under £14,000 billion.
Staggering, isn't it?
Scotland's 22% slice comes out at £3.080 thousand billion.
These are just quick calculations, covering a couple of areas.
This can a be checked out with the ONS, incidently.
The sums are probably much higher now, who can say, but that's where they stood a decade ago.
They biggest problem for us, in Scotland, is the deliberate lies and deceit, the fraud and constant corruption of Wastemonster and their msn cronies and that won't change.
The vast majority of Scots have no problem with the people of England.
Many of us have family and friends down there, but we really can't take Wastemonster any more, so we have to get out, before we get dragged down with their psychotic insanity.
The good folk of England get little choice in the matter, but we're about to use our Get Out Of Jail Free card.
As I said, I have reams of information, a of it verifiable and researchable.
Do yourself a favour, get you and your's up here, at the earliest opportunity, for a better quality of life.
Good things are going to happen. 👍

Many here are missing the point.
Scottish and English law are different.
We, in Scotland, have a Constitution, for example.
Within, it clearly states that any Scottish govt is subject to the will of the people, because the people are Sovereign/Liege, not the govt!
The same applies, when it comes to the Monarchy.
We Sovereigns can dismiss our govt or the monarchy to replace it with one more suited to our needs.
No, we're not talking about a set time in office.
If we aren't happy we can sack them any time we like, providing it's the will of the majority of those voting.
That's one of the reasons the snp have been dragging their heels.
They operate (unlawfully, under Scottish law) by Wastemonster parliamentary laws and statutes.
With the union revoked, there will be one major reason for folk to stop voting for them.
I know it's the opposite, in England, having lived there for a few decades, but try to imagine the difference it would make to your lives.
The snp are allowed to dream, but the fact of the matter is they cannot make decisions without consulting the Sovereigns first to seek permission, so forget about any plans you have heard or read.
They don't get to make the decisions, we do.
They can ignore us, yes, but will face charges of High Treason, as set out in Scottish law.
Me, I'm 100% certain they won't try it.
Would you? 😂😂😂😂

@iangreenhorn544
Newsflash....62% of Scotland voted to remain in the EU, but ended up out, due to Brexit.
Since then the majority of Scotland's voters have elected parties intent on revoking the union, because the promise of MaxDevo, amongst others, was never kept.
The majority.
That's democracy, whether you like it or not!
Polls are not worth the time or effort, as they are dependent on demographics.
Take a poll in a staunch unionist area and, well, what a surprise, the majority want to stay.
The opposite for leaving the union.
Cold hard facts, such as voting results, are the only reliable figures.
More voters opt for parties that want to split the union.
The snp are haemorrhaging members?
Boo-hoo, cry, cry, so what?
You think that because they're disillusioned with one political party that they'll give up and go home?
😂😂😂😂😂😂
You need to get a grip.
They'll swap allegiance to one of the other parties set on booting Wastemonster out the door or were you hoping they might do a 180° and vote a yoony party?
Stick to facts, Ian, not fantasy numbers.
