A consultation gets under way next week on plans for a second Scottish independence referendum, the SNP's Nicola Sturgeon has confirmed.

She told the party's Glasgow conference that an Independence Referendum Bill would be published next week.

It marks the first step to holding a second vote.

She said: "I am determined that Scotland will have the ability to reconsider the question of independence and to do so before the UK leaves the EU - if that is necessary to protect our country's interests.

"So, I can confirm today that the Independence Referendum Bill will be published for consultation next week."

On 24 June, the day after the UK voted to leave the EU, Ms Sturgeon said a second independence referendum was "highly likely".

Those who voted in Scotland backed remaining in Europe by 62% to 38% while the UK as a whole backed leave, by a margin of 52% to 48%.

The first referendum, which took place on 18 September, 2014, resulted in 55% of voters saying "no" to Scottish independence.

Nicola leading the only credible opposition and setting the agenda again.

..(I think, Greg..)..that Lily meant Scotland with 'this place', not the forum...she's a Scottish member herself...it would be quite gruelling for the people of Scotland to go through again...

Oh lmao yeah I thought that after I posted it. I'm Scottish too and imo Scotland really wasn't that bad during the last one. There were quite a lot of heated debates but I don't know one single person that properly fell out with someone over it

I can see there being calls for another EU referendum if another Scottish Independence referendum goes ahead.

I can't blame them, the EU vote pretty much highlighted the fact that their input doesn't matter so why should they stay in a union in which they basically don't have a say in what happens?

How can you reconcile this with telling everyone else to get over the EU referendum result and move on? The SNP want to hold a second referendum precisely because they don't like that EU result and wish to avoid it

Because she is doing both things. I did not say I support her 2nd referendum or do not support it. I do admire her political nowse and the fact she eclipses any current English politician by a country mile.

No she doesn't, she hasn't accepted democracy, she is seizing on this as a way to further her own ambition and go down in history as the person who took Scotland out of the Union.

I dont think you are right, she is not some crazed demigod. She is trying to do the best for her country

And the best for her country is leaving the UK and becoming a tiny fleck of dust with no say in an undemocratic EU superstate? That's her goal.

By ignoring the will of the majority?

The Krankie's were swingers.

Desperation and denial. The reason she is desperate is that without the hope the EU will prop up Scotland if it does leave the UK, there isn't much hope of leaving. The EU won't.

The irony is that if Scotland had voted Yes in 2014... we would have been out the EU.

And destitute cause oil prices crashed. Lucky the rest of the UK is there to buffer the storm.

And what irony this really is.

It would be quite amusing to watch the Scottish try and run a country.
Obviously they would still be begging Westminster for pocket money, which would annoy the **** out of me but oh well.
