    Don’t think that’s quite accurate .
    Well, bring about a no confidence motion and you can force them to reveal this legal advice as well.

    No need to , it’s obvious the advice was negative.

    There isn't an inquiry or a legal case around the referendum bill so they have no need to publish it.

    The problem is theScottish Government is pressing ahead with plans for a new indyref.

    This is no doubt cost us tax payers , and if they have been told holding their own indyref was not within the powers of the Scottish assemble, there could be big problems.

    If Nicola’s paying for this planning out her own purse or the SNP are using their own funds fair enough, but I’m sure it’s us tax payers who will pay for the SNP’s illegal posturing.

    There were fewer votes for the independence parties than the unionist parties in Scotland at the last General Election.

    Nevertheless, there's a pro-indy majority of MSPs in the Parliament. That must be really annoying, eh?

    only if you are undemocratic...

    Just look at all the hoops being jumped through, the twists and turns etc in support of Brexit... that's not even taking onto account we ended up with a much harder version than the vote had decided on.

    That might actually mean something if all Lib Dem and Labour voters were pro union.

    Not really as any indyref that might take place one day will be decided on overall votes.

    Second vote counts for nothing. You only get one vote in a referendum.

    Can you tell me more about the Scottish assembly?
    There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

    Not true. I know it wasn't huge, but all votes taken together, even accounting for the unionist tactical voting, the pro independence parties had around 40,000 majority.

    Don't believe me? No worries I'll check the spreadsheet I did at the time. 😉

    Thats counting two votes each , yeah ?

    A lot of second votes going to Greens from virtue signalling voters who obviously never read the small print in their manifesto .

    You do realise you make yourself and your already very much toiling argument look dafter by desperately trying to twist things into your terms, rather than just backing down when proved wrong?

    Who has been proved wrong .

    I said there here were more votes for Unionist parties than Indy parties at the last election.

    First votes only as you don’t get two votes in a referendum.

    The figures are , Lib Dem’s, Labour, and conservative. 50.4 % of votes cast.

    SNP and Greens 49 % of votes cast.

    If you don't like the results based on the system in place then just ignore them and make up some other arbitrary method of determining the validity of government.

    There isn’t a first vote or second vote. There are two votes for two different things. There is a vote for an individual who you would like to represent you and then there is a vote for a party you align with.
    More people aligned with Indy parties.

    They are described in official documents as first and second votes ( see para 5 )

    Do you really think someone who voted for labour, lib-dem, or conservative in the first vote and greens in the second vote are Indy supporters ?

    What I did was divide the total votes by 2 to take account of this. Unionists lost 😉
