  1. I'm American so forgive me if I'm missing something, but I think Sturgeon is a little out of touch with reality. It appears that her main motivation for a referendum isn't independence for independence's sake, but so that Scotland can remain in the EU. However, even if the EU allows an independent Scotland to join (which is extremely iffy as long as Spain holds out), it was mentioned during the run up to the last referendum that Scotland would have to go through the same hoops as any other potential member. No fast track just because it was part of another (soon to be former) EU member state, despite Sturgeon's belief otherwise.

  2. +BlueTaurianBull The UK hasn't officially exited yet. And what issues are you talking about? The surge of nationalistic populism? Actually, the Brexit referendum was a side effect of that, not the cause.
