[Ash Regan, the third candidate competing
to become Scottish National party leader
and first minister, has said she believes
Scotland will be allowed its independence
without a referendum if enough voters
support it in an election.

Her campaign launch took place on
Friday before the midday deadline
for nominations. The Scottish health
secretary, Humza Yousaf, and the
finance secretary, Kate Forbes,
are the other two candidates in the race.

She denied that this strategy was
a rehash of the “de facto referendum” strategy
that was shelved by the SNP last week
after Nicola Sturgeon announced she
was stepping down as leader.

Her campaign team confirmed she
had received more than 100 nominations,
from at least 20 party branches,
pitting her against Yousaf, widely seen as
Sturgeon’s preferred candidate, and Forbes.]

she has something like 7% popularity in the polls, so it's not worth listening to what she says

The SNP need to shelve Indy until they sort out their internal politics. Say what you will about Wee Nic but they're floating around with no captain, rudder nor sail with her gone.

It is a bit like the scottish premier league without celtic rangers and hearts atm.

that was her plan though. By keeping everyone at an incompetent distance, she ensured she would lead the party forever. It's not unlike the tory party now. Who is there that is a genuinely good leader
