@NicolaSturgeon & #39;s established acceptance of the #S30 requirement proves she knows Holyrood has zero constitutional remit; and she has firmly promised voters no Catalan style illegal wildcat vote. #NoMandate https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="πŸ”’" title="Schloss" aria-label="Emoji: Schloss">
Taken as a plebiscite the Holyrood vote supports the settled will, long indicated by polls, that most Scots don& #39;t want a referendum. Not only did more vote against it, even more weren& #39;t motivated to vote at all.

There simply is not popular support.

When asked how Scots who wanted her as First Minister but who *didn& #39;t* want a referendum should vote Nicola was clear - #BothVotesSNP

So @theSNP votes are not a referendum mandate. #NoMandate https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="πŸ”’" title="Schloss" aria-label="Emoji: Schloss">
Similarly the Scottish Greens openly claimed independence was not their priority and sought environmentally motivated unionist votes during the campaign.

Green votes cannot be read as universally pro-referendum. #NoMandate https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="πŸ”’" title="Schloss" aria-label="Emoji: Schloss">
These four cast-iron reasons show @NicolaSturgeon and @theSNP do NOT have a mandate for a second independence referendum. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="πŸ”’" title="Schloss" aria-label="Emoji: Schloss">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="πŸ”’" title="Schloss" aria-label="Emoji: Schloss">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="πŸ”’" title="Schloss" aria-label="Emoji: Schloss">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="πŸ”’" title="Schloss" aria-label="Emoji: Schloss">
