Stupid & vengeful attacks by a bitter man & a faction of old guard SNP members, damaging the cause they claim to embrace. theguardian.com/politics/2021/…
I have no doubt that Sturgeon, placed in the unviable position of a sexual scandal damaging her party & predecessor may have vacillated, hesitated & obfuscated. But ultimately she did the right thing & let justice take its course. She is the greatest asset of independence.
Without her in charge, moderates will abandon independence. Calls for an unapproved referendum are a huge mistake & Sturgeon, a canny politician with a genuine understanding of her voters, knows it. Damaging her is the greatest gift to Johnson.
Those activists should ask themselves: what happens if we lose the trust of voters & a second referendum? Patience for a few years is worth the bigger price.
