"Curtice said: “The thing that clearly comes out of this forecast is we are talking about a situation where roughly half of Scotland has voted for a pro-independence party and roughly half has voted for a pro-Unionist party, ..."
"...so this election has very clearly underlined the sharp division, even division, between Unionism and support for independence in Scotland.”
"He said that, unless the polls shift, this means that a second independence referendum would be a huge gamble for either side and that no-one can know how Scotland would vote."
This gloomy declaration rather ignores the fact that the majority of voters in GE2019 voted for pro-EU parties yet, #LiarJohnson presumed to plough ahead with an extremely minimal Brexit that will damage jobs, livelihoods, businesses and communities for many generations.
Many, involved in Brexit negotiations have commented recently on the cavalier and childish manner in which #LiarJohnson and 'negotiators' treated UK citizens with utter contempt, by not bothering to negotiate better terms for Brexit, in the NATIONAL interest rather than #Tories!!
"AN award-winning German political journalist has criticised the mainstream UK media’s focus on an SNP majority as Holyrood results come in."
"Annette Dittert, a senior correspondent at Germany’s ARD broadcaster, said a pro-independence majority is “certainly just as legitimate” and would be a mandate for a new referendum."
Not everyone is fooled by the lies and propaganda disseminated by #LiarJohnson & UK Government!

“If a majority of the Scottish Parliament was voted on the basis of supporting it, that’s certainly just as legitimate.”
"Viewers have noticed that much of the focus on the BBC and across pro-Union media has been on whether the SNP achieve a majority – a very difficult feat in a proportional representation system."
"Nicola Sturgeon said yesterday that achieving an outright majority was always a "long shot"."
Not least, because the voting system in the Scottish Parliament was specifically designed to prevent any single party achieving a majority - a preventative measure to avoid the potential corruption of our political system - evidenced in #LiarJohnson and the corrupt UK Government.
"An (SNP) insider said: “This looks like the biggest endorsement of any party since the entry to the devolution era.”"
"Higher turnout, the insider said, is “great for democracy”, regardless of where those votes fall. They said: “Our job was to give people a reason to go out and vote SNP. We are going to finish well above 1 million votes.”"
"Tom Bradby, presenter of ITV News at Ten, said on Twitter: “If the SNP can assemble a pro-independence majority here tonight or tomorrow, ..."
"...I just can't see how it would be credible to deny them another referendum. It would make an absolute mockery of the principle of democratic devolution.”"

The Acts of Union 1707 represent the voluntary union of two independent Sovereign Nations; Scotland and England, based upon consent and conduct in good faith and mutual respect between the two nations, hitherto once regarded as UK.
