I think BJ will just repeat his mantra of yesterday and just say while the Tories are getting on with the job, the opposition are too busy politicking on issues like independence. The lack of a SNP majority and maybe being able to point to a Unionist majority popular vote will be enough IMO to give him the political (and perhaps legal) cover to block another referendum. Sturgeon has to constantly feed her rabid nationalist base with the red meat of a referendum just around the corner, and is obviously cheered on at every point by a MSM eager to heap pressure on their nemesis Boris Johnson, but in the face of a 5 year blocking manoeuvre by the U.K. Government, sooner or later the SNP has to govern, all the while of course posting massive annual budget deficits and adding to its poor performance in Government.I think the opposite will be the reality. Without a refendum, she can keep the grievance flag flying and not worry about actually governing as all the public service failings can continued to be blamed on not granting a referendum and "Westminster".
