The missing Scottish Referendum of 2021
Every day we hear Nationalists and their politicians go on about another referendum in 2021
Itâs not happening. Itâs never going to be happening and Sturgeon knows itâs not going to be happening
Why not?
Well. Thatâs easy

For one thing, the SNP simply cannot call a referendum. Sure, they can hold a non binding referendum, but even that would be subject to legal challenge
They simply canât have a legal referendum because legally, they donât have the power to call one
That power resides in WM

and only WM. Referendums are reserved and a Section 30 order is needed in order to have one
Boris Johnson is not going to allow one. Heâs already said so and stated that the referendum in 2014 must be respected. Not only because it was the biggest turnout in British History

but because it was a once in a generation/lifetime vote with a clear result. These are Salmond and Sturgeons words. Plus, they also signed the Edinburgh Agreement which committed both parties to respecting the result

last year that they will refuse another Scottish referendum
The SNP then say that this attitude will increase support for Scottish independence. That makes no difference
There simply will not be another vote in this Parliament. The Tories have absolutely nothing to lose by

refusing another referendum. The SNP are stuck. Thereâs nothing they can do and the catastrophe of Covid has yet to show up in the economy

machine grinds to a halt. Once the carrot is removed the people will have no choice but to pay attention to public services and the economy
Even the patron saint of the SNP (The Holy Mother of Perpetual Grievance) wonât be able to help them
