Recent survey shows how support for another Scottish independence referendum is soaring

Despite all the bluffs from No. 10 against the SNP led Scottish government, report has that Theresa May’s led Conservative government if of the view that is finalising moves to make a strong demand for a second indyref.

Thus, the UK government is also making some strategic moves with Conservatives in Scotland to have a deal with First Minister Nicola Sturgeon’s Scottish National Party government in anticipation of the move, according to the Courier.

According to the Courier, while making reference to a Scottish Conservative Party said, Downing Street was laying the groundwork for talks to make sure “we are calm and collected ahead of negotiations.”

The issue of Brexit and how it is allegedly being handled by Westminster has caused some serious odds between the PM and the First Scottish Minister. Mrs May’s stance on “hard Brexit” which includes bringing the immigration to the tens of thousands and exiting the EU single market has renewed the call for a second indyref, if the British government does not put into consideration the interests of the Scottish people in the Brexit negotiation.

Theresa May’s Lancaster speech bolstered the demand for a second indyref, after she made it clear that the UK is determined to leave in totality the single market.

According to sources, a total of 49 percent of Scots support independence, according to a BMG survey for The Herald, with 51 percent backing staying in the U.K. (undecided respondents were removed from the calculation). Most Scots opposed holding a new vote before the U.K. formally leaves the EU, the poll found.

Sturgeon on her part, has also told the PM saying, “I’ll do what needs to be done to protect Scotland’s position.” “We are running out of time for this process. It can’t go on indefinitely and it won’t go on indefinitely.”

May has made it clear the devolved administrations will not get a decisive role in the U.K.’s divorce talks with the EU and won’t have a veto if they don’t like the deal she strikes. On Wednesday, she also pushed through a measure to ensure the U.K.’s EU exit deal is done on a “take it or leave it” basis.
