For a piece of legislation which was apparently in the works for years, how could Sturgeon and/or those close to her have such an inaccurate perception as to what the general public thinks? Echo chambers certainly exist (on all sides) but surely it's bordering impossible that she only had one side ringing in her ears, especially as that side is (an admittedly very vocal) minority, in the grand scheme.
