“Maybe that doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of UK politics but it probably matters in Scotland. And then we can look ahead to the 2026 Holyrood election.“But this election will fall near the midpoint of a UK government, which might complicate the case made by Scottish Labour, which will have to defend its decisions, which might be quite unpopular, taken in the centre.
Another panellist predicted that the next General Election would have little relevance “in terms of the constitutional future of Scotland”., Oxford University professor Ciaran Martin said: “Whoever it is will immediately say ‘no’ and now will be in an unassailable legal position and, in my view, will suffer absolutely no political detriment from so doing.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
