When does Nicola Sturgeon plan to hold the Scottish Independence Referendum in 2023?

Will the anti-Sturgeon approach of Truss lead to empowering the Scottish independence movement?

Who could become the winner of the SNP-Conservative disagreements over Scottish independence? 

What are the impacts of the economic recession on Scottish nationalism? 

 

Nicola Sturgeon has reiterated that the SNP Party’s members are the independence generation and would never give up on it. On the other hand, Liz Truss has made it clear that she would not allow another independence referendum. Nevertheless, Truss’s ignorance of Scotland has increased the determination of Scottish nationalists for independence. 

 

Determination for Independence

Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon declared at the latest SNP conference that people need Scotland’s independence. She has added that Scotland will be a prosperous country as an independent nation. According to Ms Sturgeon, independence is the Scottish National Party’s (SNP) duty to discharge. Nicola Sturgeon believes that the UK government has created weakness and instability, making Scottish independence achievable. She is confident about holding the Scottish independence referendum in 2023. 

 

Tories Are Disastrous 

Nicola Sturgeon has criticized UK Prime Minister Liz Truss for her miserable policies. She has said Truss’s tax cut policies would result in austerity and growth in poverty rates and burden the Scottish public. She has added that no SNP government would ever inflict such an immoral and disastrous self-defeating policy on the people. The Scottish First Minister believes independence is about hope for a better future.

 

Truss’s Disrespect for Sturgeon

Liz Truss continued the same Conservative policies in Scotland that have caused the cost-of-living crisis. The UK Conservative government has ignored Scottish nationalists and opposed their will to hold an independence referendum. Ms Sturgeon has recently complained that Liz Truss had not made a phone call after she became the UK Prime Minister. More than one month since Liz Truss entered NO 10, she did not call Scotland’s leader to discuss domestic issues. 

 

PM Ignores Scotland 

The political opponents of Liz Truss had previously warned that her premiership could be terrible for Scotland. She continued the Conservative party’s anti-democratic approach to Scotland, which could lead to the Scottish independence referendum in 2023. Ms Truss disrespected Scotland and the Scottish Frist Minister by neglecting her. Truss has accused Sturgeon of being an attention seeker and boasted that ignoring her was the best thing to do with the Scottish First Minister.

 

Growth of Tories’ Unpopularity 

Ms Sturgeon has been the Scottish First Minister during the premiership of four UK prime ministers. She would always talk with Theresa May and Boris Johnson after being appointed UK Prime Minister. Truss is more unpopular than her predecessor in Scotland. Truss’s political approach is toxic, particularly toward the Scottish First Minister. Considering the unfavourable record of the Conservative party, Liz Truss will also make the party more unpopular. 

 

Independence Vs Tory Dominance 

Liz Truss has denied the possibility of an independence referendum in Scotland. She supported the Union and emphasized that the Union is one family and would never let the family be split up. The UK Prime Minister has been exaggerating about the cherished Union. Truss has no mandate to deny the democratic decision of the people to hold a referendum. And independence is the best way to keep Scotland safe and escape such Conservative dominance. 

 

Truss Splits the Union

Ms Truss’s leadership will increase support for the Scottish independence referendum in 2023. Liz Truss acted unfairly by humiliating Nicola Sturgeon over independence arguments. She has claimed that Nicola Sturgeon has let Scots down and played political games by pushing for a second referendum. However, most Scots have elected the pro-independence parties to the Parliament. The same majority could vote Yes to the Scottish independence referendum in 2023. 

 

Terrible Tory Economy 

The SNP has made unprecedented victories in several elections in Scotland. Sturgeon’s party gained success in the 2021 parliamentary election and the 2022 council election. Scotland’s independence is an immediate priority for the SNP, a job that is not yet complete. The UK Conservative policies were disastrous, damaged the economy, and severely hit poor households. The Scottish nationalists want independence to have full decision-making power without London’s influence to recover their economy. 

 

Economic Uncertainty 

The New UK Prime Minister has promised a new era for Britain. However, one month after her leadership began, Britain was on the brink of recession. Her economic agenda has not gone in the way that many people expected. Although Truss sacked her chancellor of the Exchequer, Truss’s plan for economic growth proved too radical. The country is facing a recession as spiralling inflation adds more costs to the households’ purchasing power. Furthermore, the cost-of-living crisis is still pressing households across the UK and worries the devolved nations.

 

Scotland’s Resources 

The status quo will no longer offer economic and social benefits to Scotland. The weakness of the UK’s economic and social outcomes leads to inefficient policies. Therefore, the SNP argues that an independent Scotland can address such challenges in a better way. The UK government’s economic model is increasingly outdated compared to its EU allies. An independent Scotland has a better opportunity for receiving financial investments. The country owns rich natural resources that could be under its control. 

 

Sturgeon’s Strong Leadership 

Nicola Sturgeon is determined to separate Scotland from Britain and has announced plans for the Scottish independence referendum in 2023. Her preferred day will be nine years after the first Scottish independence referendum in 2014. Scots rejected independence by 55 percent to 45 percent, but the policies of the Conservative party have revitalized debates over independence. Moreover, Nicola Sturgeon is powerful and popular enough to ensure the Scots and unite all nationalists in Scotland. 

 

A Voluntary Union

Sturgeon has wisely reminded the idea that the UK is a voluntary Union of nations. She has argued that the UK government should not encroach on the powers of the devolved governments. According to Sturgeon, the SNP’s victory in the 2021 Parliament elections was a mandate for another independence vote. The First Minister has planned to hold the Scottish independence referendum in 2023. Sturgeon has argued that Scotland suffered from a democracy deficit as the UK government opposed an independence referendum. 

 

The Unpopularity of the Union 

The Union has become less popular in the past decade, and Liz Truss’s toxic approach risks dividing the country. The Union has lost its popularity in Scotland as more than half of Scots back leaving the UK. In England, many people are today indifferent to the fate of the Union. More than four in ten people would welcome or do not feel bothered by Scottish independence. In Northern Ireland and Wales, the Union has become less popular. 

 

Truss Increases Possibility of Independence 

Nicola Sturgeon has been a popular leader in Scotland and across the UK. Many previous polls showed that people approved of Nicola Sturgeon more than other political leaders in the UK. Liz Truss was disrespectful and humiliated Nicola Sturgeon for pursuing independence. Notwithstanding, Truss undermined the Union by ignoring the right of a democratically-elected leader to pursue an independence referendum. That has helped Nicola Sturgeon become even more determined to set the path to the Scottish independence referendum in 2023.
