"Ms Sturgeon told the Today programme it was "very likely" Scottish parliament will not give consent for the EU Withdrawal Bill unless the UK government changes its mind."
Fortunately the UK government does not need the consent of the Scottish Parliament for its EU Withdrawal Bill. The Bill withdraws the entire UK from the EU and the notion that a quasi-parish council can obstruct that process is fanciful. This was made quite clear when the Supreme Court dealt with the legal challenge to the Brexit process brought by Gina Miller.
The continued "delusions of grandeur" suffered by the minority constituents of the UK are a constant irritation. But it was always going to be so, Mr Blair’s ridiculous devolution arrangements were always going to cause far more problems that they solved which anyone with half a brain could foresee. The idea that small constituencies representing tiny minorities of the UK population should enjoy privileges not available to the majority was always going to cause division. Now we see the most important constitutional changes the UK has seen for decades bound up in red tape cause by those devolution arrangements.
The best thing the Scots can do is to hold a second referendum on independence. If they choose to split from the UK, good luck and goodbye. If they choose to remain their devolution arrangements should allow them to decide which day to empty their dustbins but in everything else they should be bound by the decisions of the Westminster Parliament.
