The Scottish Tory MSP lashed out at Nicola Sturgeon’s plans to hold a “gimmick, fake referendum” on Scottish independence amid a row between Holyrood and Westminster over permission for Indyref2. The Scottish Conservative Chairman was clear on Sky News that in his view the SNP did not have the majority of Scots behind them on the issue of a second vote on Scottish independence.  

Mr Hoy was told by Sky News’s Kay Burley: “Actually, there isn’t anything you can do to stop [the SNP] holding a referendum.

“It may not be legally binding, but if the people of Scotland as part of that referendum say that they want to break up the union, that’s, that would be very difficult for the Prime Minister to ignore.”

He replied: “We’re gonna get you into a very interesting territory here, if the SNP are proposing to hold some form of consultative or wild cat or illegal referendum it’s quite clear that the Scottish people don’t want another independence referendum next year.

“Let’s wait and see what the First Minister says this afternoon.

“It’s not for me to write her plan B, we don’t want another independence referendum, we’re on the side of the majority of Scots on that. So it’s not down to the First Minister and the SNP to set out what it is, they’re planning but some kind of gimmick fake referendum I think will bomb with the Scottish people.”
