In Scotland you can really have elections and elections only in September or April/May/June. People are on holidays in July and August, so you can't have elections then and autumn/winter months are too dark to be campaigning then. September 2020 will probably be too early - there will be some attempts to come to an agreement with Westminster first (which will as most people expect come to nothing). And then - there could be court actions before the referendum. So - realistically we are talking about spring 2022. The only way we could be talking about 2021 is if we had Holyrood elections in September 2020 (theoretically still possible, but it won't happen).Martinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-27289271508830479192020-06-20T15:06:38.189+01:002020-06-20T15:06:38.189+01:00ANON @ 8.15am

There is no way we could imagine a referendum happening this year, if the SNP seriously suggested it, it would actually harm the indy cause because normies would go WTF and unionists would get fired up.<br /><br />That's where we are today, and the FM has a BIG task ahead when politics is back to normal to fire up the cause for independence again (and we need to back her up on it).
