.. but Scotland did its duty largely apolitically, respectfully within the current constitution.

Opinion: I've raised this issue before but it needs action?

UK Politicians continually refer to scottish Independence in a manner that breaches the law?

Supporting Independence is a Democratic Political Right!

Solon (Commentator)
Anyone has a legal democratic right to support Scottish Independence..
Anyone has a right to democratically oppose it...

No one (especially not politicians) have a right to deligitimise its right to exist or its rightful legal status as a political cause in a democracy|

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon:

"For Scotland, the question the #ITVDebate posed is this - why should we be content for either of these men [Boris Johnson/Jeremy Corbyn] to run our country and shape our future? We can do so much better than that." First Minister Nicola Sturgeon:

"All elections are important but this election really, really matters. At stake is not just the next five years.

The future of Scotland is on the line at this election."

Scottish Independence Poll

52% would vote for Independence (exc dont know)

Support among the young is strongest & likely to rise with each group of new voters in that trend
Majority support up till approx age 50 in this sample
Pensioners still the group least likely to support Scottish Independence Poll

Some Analysis: Solon (Commentator)

1. is absolutely blindingly obvious that if more people of 60 years and upwards where more engaged with directly and had some form of 'gauranteed confidence' in independence then yes support would be untouchable..
