        Pretty simple. She was elected to represent Scotland, not the UK. Not rocket science.

        Not sure what you're having difficulty with. She's FM of Scotland, not the PM of UK.

        I'd love them to try and block it. Would pretty much guarantee a yes vote.

        @RJLilley @NicolaSturgeon fairly rich in her first sentence. She hasn't respected the decision in UK. Two faced as ever.
