She will say a 'lawful' vote can be held in October 2023, with or without UK government consent.
Ms Sturgeon claims that she has a democratic mandate for a referendum as independence-supporting parties - the SNP and the Scottish Greens - have a majority at Holyrood.
"It is time to give people the democratic choice they have voted for, and then with independence to build a more prosperous, fairer country in a true partnership of equals between Scotland and our friends in the rest of the UK."because "less than a third of the electorate" voted for the SNP.The 2014 independence referendum went ahead after the UK government agreed to a section 30 order, allowing Holyrood to pass laws in areas normally reserved to Westminster.
For example, voters could instead be asked if they believed the Scottish government should begin negotiations with the UK government on Scotland leaving the UK. "That means tackling the cost of living, protecting our long-term energy security, leading the international response against Russia's invasion of Ukraine and growing our economy so that everyone has access to the opportunities, skills and jobs for the future."
