Prof Danny Dorling of Oxford University nails it squarely on the head. The SG get zero credit for their policies on welfare. Particularly the Scottish child payment which lifts kids out of poverty. The loyal, compliant media on both sides of the border fear reporting this would fuel Independence.

2. Continue building union power
3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics

It is a devolved parliament of Westminster which is why it doesn't even have the authority to ask the people a question in a referendum on a non devolved matter like "the union"
But a parliament can't write it would be a person.

That was 1707.
But who would be those signatures today ?
That is the question you are dodging .
Who in rest of world had said they wouldn't respect it?
I pointedly asked the previous UK PM, a Tory, if he would respect it. He never said anything like you have just said - he had far more respect for Scottish democracy!
Why don't you.
You are the one saying signatures best democracy.
I am just asking how? ..the democratic path is clear as most people respect democracy.
Again I ask have you read the paragraph in the ruling?
And would you respect a vote for independence?
How would that work? Who are the relevant signatories? when all that exists are Westminster and Westminster's devolved Government?
And if a people vote for independence at an election why wouldn't you recognise it? .. why not democracy? Why these mysterious signatures??
I really don't know what you mean and if you do know then explain why a democratic vote wouldn't have authority in s democracy. Have you read the Supreme Court ruling and the particular paragraph on democratic authority?

And what do you mean legally?
How could you possibly call an illegal election or vote of any kind - who would man the polling stations for a start?
And who could call a vote tomorrow on independence ? The SNP have that power now until 2026.

Remember -
The UK Supreme Court said Holyrood could not trigger a referendum on independence.
BUT -
They didn't say, the people couldn't trigger independence in an election.
The UKSC were mindful that Law follows democracy.
