“I think it’s healthy for any political party to have a democratic debate – which we will do – about where we intend to go in relation to our next steps in relation to independence.” “But I think we need to reflect when we’re having this discussion, on the fact that we even need to do this, that the people of Scotland voted for a majority of members of the Scottish Parliament who are of course in favour of a second independence referendum, the UK Government has said that they’re not going to respect that mandate.
