« 1 For The Scotsman, opposed to independence, there is no doubt: Nicola Sturgeon is bluffing and knows full well that the referendum cannot take place next year.

Indeed, Boris Johnson will never grant SNP the right to do this referendum, and the supreme court neither This article also specifies that the timing is not right, because Scottish are currently struggling with other problems more important than the referendum.

They live a hard time and they don’t care about an independence that would cost them too much. Afterwards, the journalist writes that if N.Sturgeon is a sensible and clever politician, she would never put her own country in a situation like Catalonia, because if she does that indyref2 she will plunge her country into crisis.

He also says that she would not assume her fault and would reject all on Westminster.

For the daily newspaper, Prime minister isn’t smart or brave at all, she just bet with the future of her own fellow citizen, this is not her job, she is part of the government not the opposition, she had to help people through these hard times, there is things more important than the independence like the proper functioning of public services or political and economical issues. Finally, it said that independence will disturb all the foreign investment.

No one would want to invest in such a country without knowing if it is a European country or not. 2 The daily telegraph, which is a conservative newspaper, seems opposed to independence too. Indeed the title of this article proves it.

It rejects the SNP and its desire for independence. At first, P.Johnson compared the reaction of Boris Johnson and it’s predecessor, David Cameron, to the request of the Scottish to proceed lawfully at a referendum.

In 2014 David Cameron allowed the Scottish to proceed, because for him avoiding the referendum would bring more weapons to separatist militants.

He was probably right because the Scots voted 55 per cent to 45 in favor of staying in the Union.

The current prime minister chose the opposite solution, and let the supreme court decide.

This can be a bad decision according to the newspaper and be fatal to the union. Indeed, if the court allows the referendum to take place this will discredit the current English government, and if the court says no, sturgeon will use it as an argument.

Scotland is oppressed roughly like Ukraine is oppressed by russia.

Here the journalist make fun of such a reaction from scotland prime minister The article specifies that in 1707, Scotland chose to create a union after economical issues, and these could restart if the country regain its independence.

A few years ago the SNP could retort by saying Scotland would be strong economically thanks to black gold and gas, it’s now impossible because their allies at Holyrood are the green which are strongly opposed to extraction. Another point is presented in this article: if Scotland becomes independent, Spain will refuse them entrance into the EU because of its own situation with Catalonia.

And if they finally succeed to join the EU the creation of a border between England and Scotland would be ridiculous because they currently exchange most of their goods. Finally, P.

Johnson, the journalist that wrote this article, doesn’t believe in the potential success of this indyref2. 3 The article of the independent mainly focused on the problems encountered by Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP to proceed the referendum.

The Independent strongly supports the EU and is a progressive newspaper. To begin, the journalist said that the SNP wanted this referendum in time of crisis because it could help Scotland to manage the situation better. Afterward it describes 3 problems of indyref2.

At first there was the refusal of Boris Johnson to let them do the referendum, because scottish already voted 8 years ago, and was decisive for a generation according to him.

In a second time the result of such a referendum isn't guaranteed.

It’s not because Scots voted mostly for pro-independence parties that they would vote mostly for independence. …. 4 The Financial Times has a different opinion on the subject, the center right liberal newspaper taking the side of Nicola sturgeon in the battle for independence.

They even quote her saying that the referendum is worth it. Nicola sturgeon is gonna try to proceed this iref2 at all cost but at first she is trying to do it legally..... »
