Medias hantering av Brexit

It could be argued - it is already being argued - that, if it came to a constitutional battle, Westminster would have the final say. Holyrood might withhold consent for the legislative moves to implement Brexit.
Westminster might note such a verdict, no doubt with polite gratitude - then proceed to implement Brexit, exercising its over-riding sovereignty.
Would that be wise? Would it be politically smart? Those are different questions, to discuss should this issue arise for real.
To be clear, Nicola Sturgeon is not personally making a big deal of this. She is not issuing scatter-gun threats.
She is attempting to remain calm, adopting the persona of one of the few serving leaders in these islands not resigning or under pressure to resign.
To be clear, further, she did not float the issue of a "veto" on Friday in her formal response. It emerged today in reply to decidedly adept questioning from my estimable colleague, Gordon Brewer.

Sturgeon förklarade under fredagen att det skulle vara ”demokratiskt oacceptabelt” att skottarna ska tvingas ut ur EU mot folkets vilja.

Nu kan det skotska parlamentet försöka blockera Storbritanniens utträde ur EU.

– Om det skotska parlamentet skulle bedöma det utifrån vad som är bäst för Skottland så måste givetvis möjligheten att säga att vi inte kommer att rösta för någonting som går emot Skottlands intressen finnas på bordet, säger Sturgeon.

Hennes parti, Skotska nationalistpartiet (SNP), har 63 av de 129 platserna i parlamentet.
