Quote of the day 18th October 2018

"Unionists can rejoice. If they lose the next independence referendum, they can quote the Nicola Sturgeon doctrine on Brexit: if you don’t like the first result – vote again and get a chance to reverse the decision. Never has such a foolish leadership decision been so easily and recklessly accepted by the SNP membership. Never has the pass been so cheaply sold."

(Former SNP deputy leader Jim Sillars on the potential consequences for Scotland of support of the First minister and SNP leadership for yet another EU referendum.

For the avoidance of doubt, I don't agree with  the idea of holding referenda again and again until you get the result you like. But since the SNP are supporting it for Brexit, they will have nobody but themselves to blame if the same principle were be applied to a referendum result they did like.)
