Wishart’s call for indref2 delay reflects reality for SNP

Busted flush. They will still continue to enjoy decent support and will likely be the main party in coalition at the next election but with fewer seats than now. Wishers is speaking the known truth. Had they had the guts to take on Theresa May on the ground they might have done it. Instead they cranked up Indy Ref2 only to run away.- Rab Young A cynic might suggest that Ministers are happy to live their comfortable lives without tackling the major issues that setting up a separate country would require. - Peter Lewis There will be another independence referendum when we know the deal for Brexit. The deal will be at best terrible! Good move by the government delaying it till then. - Steve Young
