As expected, the Scots are going to hold another referendum for independence. Scottish parliament just approved a new referendum.
In an icy meeting between May and Sturgeon (the Scottish first minister) May has said that that is out of the question, especially during the Brexit procedure. The British government does not want complications during what are going to be the most difficult negotiations in the history of the UK.
This raises the question for me. Is it legally possible for the UK government to forbid a referendum approved by the Scottish parliament?
EDIT: unrelated to Scotland, the British Brexit minister David Davies has said that the promises made by the Brexit camp, like 350 million to healthcare, and getting the same trade deal as we have while still in the EU cannot be fulfilled, because that would be impossible. He says that people should also not expect the number of immigrants to drop. Instead he says that he expects the number of immigrants to slightly rise.
"But the important thing is that we have control over our own borders."
I wonder, if they were to hold a new Brexit referendum now, if they would even manage to get 10% to vote yes. Best thing May can do IMO is call Juncker and beg politely to stop the whole silly Brexit thing.
