Going on Ms Sturgeons forthright views, or is it all a load of hot air.

Frankly they should have a referendum on "different dependence" not independence
13:11 Sun 12th Mar 2017
Scotland's first minister has said autumn 2018 would be a "common sense" date for any second independence referendum.
Nicola Sturgeon continued to insist, however, that no final decision had yet been made on holding such a vote.
In a BBC interview, she said she would take things forward at "the pace that I think is right for the country".

Even if you accept the dubious cry of "It's Scotland's Oil" (never entirely true) it looks like the future revenues will fall between 'not very much' and 'naff all'

Which means that all the economic sleight of hand used last time just won't wash in referendum #2
Without support from the rest of the UK (or more specifically England), Scotland is pretty much an economic basket case - think Greece without the good weather.
If they want to go, that's fine - entirely their decision, but I think they'd be mad to do it.
Nicola Sturgeon must know this, but it's an unspeakable truth just now. I expect her to blame all sorts of external factors for preventing a referendum she knows could be a disaster for her and the SNP - whichever way it went ...

when certain powers were devolved to Holyrood under Scottish devolution, the arrangement vested all constitutional matters in the national Westminster parliament. thus a referendum on Scottish independence needed those arrangements to be varied and this required an act of parliament. http://
this provided for one referendum, in September 2014. a further referendum - if it is to carry any legal weight - will either require a new act, or an amendment to the existing one.
ms sturgeon can call a referendum any time she likes but without the implied consent of Westminster afforded by new legislation, it will be constitutionally meaningless.

This is my post from a different thread on the same subject.
\\I may be being a bit stupid here but if the scots had won the vote and got independence the surely they wouldn't be in the eu as whilst part of the uk they are in the eu but if they left they would have to negotiate a way into the eu. //
Am i being a bit stupid or not. ?

It's not a given at all. spain will always veto it for one and secondly Scotland would have to prove its economic value for a number of years before being allowed in. With all the problems of the PIGS (although no longer news it's still there) there is no way the EU (Germany) would want to be funding yest another country.
And lastly the wee lady seems to have forgotten they will need a currency. They cannot use the Pound as that belongs to the Union she so despises so they would need a Scottish pound or whatever (There is zero chance of using the EUR). As the SNP have zero experience of running an economy I'd expect the value of the Scottish pound to be very poor meaning imports would be very expensive.

You have to be economically sound to join. Being independant and a member of the EU is not sufficient:
