For The Scotsman, opposed to independence, there is no doubt: Nicola Sturgeon is bluffing and
knows full well that the referendum cannot take place next year.
Indeed, Boris Johnson will never
grant SNP the right to do this referendum, and the supreme court neither
This article also specifies that the timing is not right, because Scottish are currently struggling with
other problems more important than the referendum.
They live a hard time and they don’t care
about an independence that would cost them too much.
Afterwards, the journalist writes that if N.Sturgeon is a sensible and clever politician, she would
never put her own country in a situation like Catalonia, because if she does that indyref2 she will
plunge her country into crisis.
He also says that she would not assume her fault and would reject all
on Westminster.
For the daily newspaper, Prime minister isn’t smart or brave at all, she just bet with
the future of her own fellow citizen, this is not her job, she is part of the government not the
opposition, she had to help people through these hard times, there is things more important than the
independence like the proper functioning of public services or political and economical issues.
Finally, it said that independence will disturb all the foreign investment.
No one would want to
invest in such a country without knowing if it is a European country or not.

The daily telegraph, which is a conservative newspaper, seems opposed to independence too.
Indeed the title of this article proves it.
It rejects the SNP and its desire for independence.
At first, P.Johnson compared the reaction of Boris Johnson and it’s predecessor, David Cameron, to
the request of the Scottish to proceed lawfully at a referendum.
In 2014 David Cameron allowed the
Scottish to proceed, because for him avoiding the referendum would bring more weapons to
separatist militants.
He was probably right because the Scots voted 55 per cent to 45 in favor of
staying in the Union.
The current prime minister chose the opposite solution, and let the supreme
court decide.
This can be a bad decision according to the newspaper and be fatal to the union.
Indeed, if the court allows the referendum to take place this will discredit the current English
government, and if the court says no, sturgeon will use it as an argument.
Scotland is oppressed
roughly like Ukraine is oppressed by russia.
Here the journalist make fun of such a reaction from
scotland prime minister
The article specifies that in 1707, Scotland chose to create a union after economical issues, and
these could restart if the country regain its independence.
A few years ago the SNP could retort by
saying Scotland would be strong economically thanks to black gold and gas, it’s now impossible
because their allies at Holyrood are the green which are strongly opposed to extraction.
Another point is presented in this article: if Scotland becomes independent, Spain will refuse them
entrance into the EU because of its own situation with Catalonia.
And if they finally succeed to join
the EU the creation of a border between England and Scotland would be ridiculous because they
currently exchange most of their goods.
Finally, P.
Johnson, the journalist that wrote this article, doesn’t believe in the potential success of
this indyref2.

The article of the independent mainly focused on the problems encountered by Nicola Sturgeon and
the SNP to proceed the referendum.
The Independent strongly supports the EU and is a progressive
newspaper.
To begin, the journalist said that the SNP wanted this referendum in time of crisis because it could
help Scotland to manage the situation better.
Afterward it describes 3 problems of indyref2.
At first there was the refusal of Boris Johnson to let
them do the referendum, because scottish already voted 8 years ago, and was decisive for a
generation according to him.
In a second time the result of such a referendum isn't guaranteed.
It’s
not because Scots voted mostly for pro-independence parties that they would vote mostly for
independence.

The Financial Times has a different opinion on the subject, the center right liberal newspaper taking
the side of Nicola sturgeon in the battle for independence.
They even quote her saying that the
referendum is worth it.
Nicola sturgeon is gonna try to proceed this iref2 at all cost but at first she is trying to do it legally.....
