The Scottish Government will move to hold a second referendum on independence from the United Kingdom, the country's First Minister has announced.

Nicola Sturgeon made the announcement in a speech on Monday morning at Bute House, as MPs in Westminster prepared to give Theresa May the power to trigger Article 50 and begin Brexit negotiations.

She said the UK Government had "not moved even an inch in pursuit of compromise and agreement" with the Scottish Government over Brexit and that even a good deal would be "significantly inferior" to the status quo.

Possibly, no moreso than England in 10 years time, and I have more faith in a smaller devolved government to do it's best to look after ordinary citizens than Westminster, who will happily throw millions under the bus to bolster London at all costs.

The options were "Yes or No", not "Yes or Never".

Part of the argument to stay within the UK was a safe and secure place in the EU

So, y'know, that's a thing

Exactly.... The first referendum was based on a promise that Scottish membership of the UK would mean a guarantee of EU membership. Since that guarantee is not being met now, there should be a second referendum.

... A bit early.

There have been big changes but still it has been only 2.5 years, they need to give it a couple of years to see the outcome

I don't blame them, Scotland voted to stay in the EU and their impact on the vote ultimately didn't matter, why should they stay with us if they ultimately don't have a say in the UK's future?

[Denver]

I dont get how staying in the EU is safe? it has destroyed the likes of Greece, Cyprus, Spain and Portugal
