The SNP leader last month told MSPs her intention was to hold an IndyRef2 on October 19 next year
Nicola Sturgeon will today publish the second in a series of papers aimed at convincing Scots of the benefits of independence. The First Minister will hold a press conference at Bute House in Edinburgh where she will answer questions on her government's push to hold a second referendum.
The First Minister is expected to say: "This discussion could not be more timely or urgent - the democratic deficit Scotland faces is not a recent phenomenon, but the evidence of it now is starker than ever. "The fact that the Scottish people have repeatedly elected a majority in the Scottish Parliament committed to an independence referendum is treated as immaterial. You don’t have to be a supporter of independence to know that’s not democracy.
"Parties and policies that we reject are to be forced upon us - but the democratic right to choose an alternative is to be denied to us."
