Scotland Is In an Abusive Relationship With England and It’s Proving Near Impossible To Get a Divorce

One of many reasons why a revolution is needed in Britain today.

Yesterday, the supreme court ruled that the first minister of Scotland-Nicola Sturgeon — did not have the power to unilaterally to call for a referendum vote to breakaway from the United Kingdom.

Britain’s apex court made the ruling in the following words:

First, the question referred by the Advocate-General is a devolution issue, which means that the court has jurisdiction to decide it. Secondly, the court should accept the reference. Thirdly, the provision of the proposed bill which makes provision for a referendum on the question “should Scotland be an independent country?” Does relate to matters which have been preserved to the Parliament of the united Kingdom under the Scotland Act. In particular, it relates to the reserved matters of the unions of the Kingdoms of Scotland and England and the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Accordingly, in the absence of the modification of the definition of reserved matters, by order of council or otherwise, the Scottish Parliament does not have the power to legislate fora referendum on Scottish independence.

And with those words, Nicola Sturgeon’s raison d’etre was killed.
