The political way is not entirely closed. If Scotland can persuade the UK government to allow an independence referendum then we will hold one. Unfortunately Nicola never managed to engage with Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss or, to some degree, Rishi Sunak. I hope the next SNP Leader will establish a meaningful dialogue with Westminster.

The SNP is completely out of its mind if they truly believe any PM of the United Kingdom would allow Scotland to have a second independence referendum.

I do believe that Westminster needs to bring Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland to the table when figuring out some of the major issues facing the UK, but I also believe that Scotland doesn’t have a clue how destructive a “yes” vote on independence would be not only for their country, but the world as well.

Well there’s a precedent, David Cameron agreed to a referendum didn’t he, and the arguments against independence are all debatable. Scotland has enough natural resources, agriculture, tourism and technology to build a strong economy, and frankly I don’t see how the emergence of a new independent country would threaten the world. 🤷🏿‍♂️
