Beags,
Perhaps, but the SNP lost a "once in a generation" IndyRef a few scant years ago and she shows no sign of respecting her people's clear wishes on that. The Scots voted to remain in a United Kingdom then; London voted to "remain" in the EU and apart from some half-wits no-one is suggesting it holds the rest of the UK to ransom. Sturgeon is a political creature to her fingernails; she know's that the economic case for Independence is weakening, as is support for the SNP so she needs to have one last go before it's too late and Scotland returns to a coalition. The "6th largest economy" is poppycock; Scotland ranked 14th in 2014 on one measure - GDP/capita - only due to subsidies and the inflated price of oil. The same survey ranked Scotland as 57th (between Iraq and Bangladesh) if the wealth of the country was measured as a whole, not divided per capita. Not so rosy using that metric in 2014 is it? I dare say thanks to the slump in oil, it's a damn sight lower now.
