The Supreme Court ruling does not undercut Scottish democracy. The UK remains a voluntary union, and no reasonable notion of democracy can say otherwise.
Absolutely, I think that she is appealing to her core voters with rhetoric like this however as you say, it is more than likely to alienate many voters. I am already well and truly in the alienated group and won’t ever change my mind.
Sadly it will not stop Sturgeon and her disciples from spouting this nonsense! I am certain that they are well aware of the legal situation, I mean, her handpicked Lord Advocate wouldn’t go along with this ridiculous nonsense! Very tiresome it is going to be.
In an odd sort of way I'm all for the SNP retreating to language about 'trapped' and 'prisoner' etc, it's a tone which won't sit well with middle Scotland. When the FM speaks about fighting "with every breath the last breath in my body" for indy, it all comes across as incredibly 'Scots wha hae'...really weird in modern politics. I think it works for their base, but will alienate undecided voters.
