Boris Johnson says UK is 'stronger together' as Nicola Sturgeon sets out Scottish referendum plans
The biggest question about Nicola Sturgeon’s plans to stage an independence referendum on Scotland's future are not why or when, but how? The First Minister wants a vote by October 2023 and states that the SNP has a democratic mandate, backed by the Scottish Greens, to deliver one. But whether she has the legal power to stage an independence referendum is open to question. The UK Government has simply refused to pass on powers, under a Section 30 order, to stage a second legal referendum saying that the 2014 result was a decisive, 'once in a generation' vote. That makes the legal path to a referendum, which Sturgeon said she is committed to, a difficult one.
