Nicola can't swing both ways

Ms Sturgeon is pretty useful at juggling numbers and telling us Scotland voted to stay in the EU, a reason she thinks should be enough for a 2nd Independence referendum.   

On closer inspection it turns out not quite the whole of Scotland voted Remain.   38% of Scottish voters voted Leave.  That was a total of 1,018,322 out 2,679,795 of souls who voted to Leave the EU.  Hardly “Scotland voted to Leave”. 

So, what of the last General Election?  Well, only 45% voted for Nicola and her SNP.  Hardly a Scotland voted SNP result.   

Ms Sturgeon can't swing both ways.  As the late Paddy Ashdown said, "you either believe in democracy or you do not".
