Oh dear Gordon Brewer on #politicsscotland has misunderstood the process I’ve advocated regarding a consultative referendum. He’s still stuck on the outdated idea of a wildcat referendum which I have never advocated. What I’ve advocated is the following
Holyrood passes a bill to hold a consultative referendum then lets Johnson mount a legal challenge on whether they had the power to do so. The @UKSupremeCourt decides whether such a referendum is lawful Many legal experts think we would win the argument.
To lose would not set us back any further from where we are now. It’s a thought through political & legal strategy that’s not really that hard to understand and I do wish @BBCScotPolitics would get it right
