Ash Regan has consistently been asked what she would do if the UK Government refused to negotiate on independence, and has now set out her response to that possibility
“I have the only plan that has historic precedent, can be delivered legally by Scotland alone, moves us beyond the referendum stalemate, is supported by the majority of SNP members, and is accepted by the public,” Regan said.
“There is a 100% success rate in those countries getting the UK Government to the negotiating table after an initial refusal. It is not credible to suggest anything else, the UK Government will even concede this fact.”Regan split her explanation into four pillars – the first, that the Smith Commission states clearly that “nothing in this report prevents Scotland becoming an independent country in the future should the people of Scotland so choose”.
In her third pillar, Regan argued that there’s “no legal method to stop the Scottish Parliament from deciding when it wants an election, in the same manner the UK Government can decide when it wants one”. “King Charles is the Head of State for the United Kingdom and his public speeches show us the character of the man on the throne,” she said.
