THE Scottish National Party is to hold an independence referendum over its association with Nicola Sturgeon.
Following its former leader’s arrest on Sunday, the Scottish National Party is to hold a once-in-a-generation referendum on whether it should sever all ties with Sturgeon, her husband and their former treasurer to go its own way.
SNP leader Humza Yousaf said: “We’re calling it Indyref 2 and the British government’s more than happy for us to hold it.
“The question is simple. Should the SNP be forever shackled to a woman being investigated for significant financial irregularities, a woman who bloody loved putting questions to the public, or get rid?
“Some say ‘how can you survive without her?’ or ‘where’s your gratitude?’ or ‘better together’, but we existed as a party and a national identity before Sturgeon, and I’m confident we can again.
“The question will be put to the people. And if we lose by a narrow margin then we’re fully prepared to override the democratic process and have another go in a couple of years.”
“It’s what Sturgeon would have wanted.”
