First minister in a hurry

-

Madam, – Why is Nicola Sturgeon in such a hurry to stage another vote on the constituti­on?

As things stand the SNP can rest assured that voters will again put them back into power at the next Holyrood elections for want of any real alternativ­e.

On policy, be it health, education, police or transport, the SNP is the only game in town.

Opposition parties correctly point out the government’s flaws and failures but they don’t give voters a clear idea of what they would do differentl­y.

Therefore the SNP can be sure to win another Holyrood mandate for Indyref2 post 2021.

But that won’t appease those Yes activists within and outside her own party who keep demanding action and whose patience is wearing thin. Regina Erich.
