A majority of Scots believe Scottish independence would be better for the country than staying in the UK after Brexit, a new poll reveals.
The Panelbase survey of 1,028 voters for The Sunday Times Scotland and LBC, before a crucial Commons vote on Theresa May’s withdrawal deal, found that more believe leaving the EU will be bad for Scotland than not.
Scottish independence would be better than a no-deal Brexit, say 59%, with 41% disagreeing. While 53% say independence would benefit the country more than staying in the UK but outside the EU under a negotiated Brexit deal, 47% take the opposite view.
The last thread was based on Salmond and his attempt. I suspect a new vote will happen within a few years, unless brexit is called off. It would be make or break for Sturgeon's career, as it was for Salmond's.
