Can SNP renew push for Scottish independence after Sturgeon?

The Independent  

The Scottish National Party was supposed to be a tightly run ship. Pressing ahead with the court challenge could be key to keeping the SNP’s power-sharing agreement with the Scottish Greens intact – though a defiant Forbes has suggested she would be “comfortable” running a minority government if the left-wingers didn’t like her views. Forbes admitted last week that the SNP had failed to lay the “groundwork” for independence by talking to voters who had not yet been won over, while Yousaf has spoken about winning “a consistent majority for independence”, claiming that the legal obstacles would then simply “disappear”. But the former Labour first minister of Scotland Jack McConnell told The Independent that those who are “gloating” about Sturgeon’s exit as a boon for unionism “need to calm down” – warning against the complacency seen after the 2014 referendum victory. After the huge gains made by Alex Salmond and Sturgeon, support is no longer dependent on the charisma of one particular SNP leader – though it would certainly help in winning over more people.
