It's either IndyRef2 shelved or "I decided that the electorate were wrong so we're going ahead anyway because that's how stubborn I am".
She should have held back on this. SNP were always going to lose a few seats in 2017 but clearly the "let's keep the UK together" vote in Scotland wouldn't have been quite so important had she been more sensible and delayed a second referendum until *after* Brexit was completed and its effects understood, rather than trying to rush it through.

After Arlene Foster managed to squeeze extra dosh for NI out of the Government and Carwyn Jones demanded more dosh for Wales last night, she will surely fall back on the vote winner.......more dosh for Scotland. No need to guess where all this "extra" funding for NI, Wales & Scotland comes from. The day draws ever closer to when the English demand independence, and the closing of the purse and the cutting of apron strings once and for all. :))
Sturgeon shelves plans for second referendum bill until autumn 2018 at earliest
Sturgeon says the Scottish parliament has a right to call a second referendum.
The SNP has now won two elections on this platform, she says.
The mandate the Scottish government has is “beyond doubt”.
But deciding when to exercise it is a matter of judgment. And she says it must be exercised in the interests of the nation as a whole.
She says she respects those who don’t want a referendum. Others want one tomorrow.
But she says many people do not fall into either category. They worry about the future. They think it is not right to have a referendum “right now”.
They want more clarity, about Brexit and about the alternatives.
And they want the Scottish government to focus on getting the best Brexit deal.
She says that is even more important given the opportunity, “however narrow”, of keeping the UK in the single market.
Sturgeon says she still wants to give people a choice at the end of the Brexit process.
She will reset the plan, she says.
