Nicola Sturgeon made a number of statements at the launch of her latest paper on independence that cannot be contested. She said Scots have “repeatedly” returned a majority of politicians who support independence. True.
She said the country was about to get another Tory Prime Minister who Scots would not vote for. Also correct. Her paper claimed Westminster is based on a “flawed” system of governance. Hard to dispute.
Sturgeon’s problem is repeating these facts gets her no closer to independence or a referendum. The timing of her Government’s latest paper - ‘ Renewing Democracy Through Independence ’ - was clever.
