you obviously haven't a clue how Scottish courts work our judicial system is separate from the UK's it always has been ... SNP wins the election in Scotland again 2nd mandate to hold a independence referendum the constitutional courts will sign the section 30 thus Boris Johnson will have to back down and this is the route Scottish government proposes to go down if Boris Johnson refuses it.Pseudo wrote:There are, I mentioned a much in the post that you're quoting.T-Force wrote:59 is the number of Scottish seatsA UK court wouldn't need to overrule a Scottish court because as I said in the post that you're quoting, in the unlikely event that the Scottish Court didn't dismiss the case out of hand they would rule against the Scottish government because granting permission to hold a referendum on Scottish independence is a reserved power.... UK court cannot over rule Scottish courtNo, it didn't. AFAIK there's nothing in the Scotland Act 2016 relating to referendums are you sure you're not getting confused with the provisions for allowing alterations to the Scottish electoral system? The question you should probably ask yourself is, if the Scottish parliament had the power to legislate a referendum without the agreement of the UK parliament then why didn't Sturgeon exercise it in March 2017 instead of gaining the approval of the Scottish Parliament to request a Section 30 order?the fact is part of the vow which won the referendum in 2014 for the no side part of the vow was the transfer of powers to legislate referendas from Holyrood
the 2016 act was a heavily watered down version of the Vow that won the referendum for the NO side ... The electoral commission is demanding a change in the question compared to the last time from YES and NO to REMAIN and LEAVE because no is no longer in front and REMAIN and LEAVE confuses the voters from the Brexit vote ... they've been told to sling their hook ... the UK knows Indyref2 is coming and they can't stop it
