Due to the bulk SNP-Inexperienced authorities’s #2023ReferendumGuarantee, it’s the unshakeable future of this nation to carry a second independence referendum throughout the subsequent nineteen months on the absolute most. And it is nice to see but extra proof that a number of the actually concrete sensible steps wanted to honour that solemn vow are being taken. Only a few days in the past, Nicola Sturgeon used her official go to to the US to inform a journalist that the referendum would positively happen in 2023, and tonight brings thrilling information that she’s written an essay to launch what’s billed as “the brand new independence marketing campaign”.

There are simply 229 days till the earliest doable date for #Referendum2023 (fifth January)
There are simply 579 days till the final doable date for #Referendum2023 (twenty first December)
(Word: the Countdown Clock calculations assume that custom can be maintained by holding #Referendum2023 on a Thursday, and that will probably be earlier than Christmas.)
After all there have been many earlier events when new independence campaigns have been heralded that have been imagined to result in a referendum, and nothing actually occurred. So maybe there will be a contact of cynicism in sure quarters about this newest growth. However this time is clearly completely totally different because of the clock ticking down on that ultra-specific 2023 assure. And due to that, we will confidently be part of Donna Summer time in shouting it out with a megaphone: “This time we all know it is for actual…”
