The campaign officially launched as of 5 minutes ago with the first paper on the new independence push – entitled ‘Wealthier, Happier, Fairer: Why Not Scotland?’.
It is said to be a “scene setter” which will compare Scotland and the UK to other European countries.
The paper will also set out why the government believes the country would be better off if it were independent.
Ms Sturgeon added that subsequent papers would look at a number of areas including;
Currency
Taxation and Spending
Defence
Social security and pensions
and EU membership and trade
Brexit wasnt enough for them?
The best the UK goverment can do is to completely ignore her. With all the economic pressures facing the country, rising cost, fuel prices and inflation, this is the last distraction they would want.

Ie the vitally important elements of an Independent Scotland that the indyref movement haven’t ever been able to find a satisfactory answer for and, drumroll, still don’t have an answer for.
She’s going to keep demanding it until she finally wins a vote after however many she loses.
It’s her grift, it’s how she rose to power and how she plans on keeping it.
Ironically I think it would be both better off for Scotland AND better off for the rest of the UK.
1) Scotland costs England more than it puts into the economy. If Scotland leaves, that would put less pressure on the NHS, welfare systems etc. That money can reduce debt and increase expenditure on education, etc.
2) I believe if Scotland leaves and joins the EU, it would benefit more from an economic standpoint than if it were part of England.
It could also become the main shipping route for all European goods coming into the UK
“In a wide-ranging interview with BBC Scotland, the first minister also defended plans to make public sector cuts.
Last week, her government set out plans to cut tens of thousands of public sector jobs.
It followed a warning from a think tank that the Scottish government will face a £3.5bn gap opening up between spending and income.”
hmmmm… I wonder why indyref 2 is being trotted out again???
