@Drivingforce @OliverNoble @piglet oh look it up for yourself. He gave several interviews around the time of the high court judgement where he was asked "If the UK is a voluntary union, what is the mechanism for Scotland to leave". His answer, in his own words, was recorded and broadcast. Basically, yes, it's a voluntary union. No, Scotland can't decide to leave. Yes, Scots voted for parties that promote a referendum. No, he won't allow one because it isn't a priority, and it would be bad for us
