Supreme court rules Nicola Sturgeon's bid to hold IndyRef2 would NOT be lawful
"The people of Scotland want us to be working on fixing the major challenges that we collectively face, whether that's the economy, supporting the NHS or indeed supporting Ukraine.The First Minister’s bid to legislate for IndyRef2 on October 19 next year was blocked after the Supreme Court said it would go beyond Holyrood’s powers.
"First, the question referred by the Advocate General is a devolution issue, which means that that the Court has jurisdiction to decide it."Thirdly, the provision of the proposed Bill which makes provision for a referendum on the question, “Should Scotland be an independent country?” does relate to matters which have been reserved to the Parliament of the United Kingdom under the Scotland Act.
But the SNP has argued that events including Brexit and their repeated election wins since means there is a “mandate” among Scots for holding IndyRef2. Ms Bain frustrated some nationalists by saying she “does not have the necessary degree of confidence” Holyrood can hold a vote without UK Government’s agreement.
