ALEX Salmond has marked the failed attempt to hold another independence referendum – originally slated to go ahead tomorrow – by saying the SNP…
Sturgeon told MSPs she was proposing October 19 as the date for indyref2General Election as a de facto referendum on independence – a plan which was officially binned at the party’s conference earlier this week.
“We were then told when the Supreme Court misadventure backfired that there would be a de facto referendum at next year’s General Election and now that’s not happening. “So it became symbolic of people’s desire and wish and yearning to have the democratic right to choose our own future.“Today, sadly the square is empty because those that said they would give Scots that choice again today failed to deliver what they had promised.
“So today, on the date that was promised to have been another referendum, let’s celebrate as our heroes of our nation; the ordinary people of Scotland who are the guardians of our country’s future.”
