:03:28. > :03:33.these two leaders on Scotland's future. In Cardiff, the Prime
:03:34. > :03:39.Minister accused the SNP of exploiting Brexit to pursue
:03:40. > :03:43.independence. It is now clear that using Brexit as the pretext to
:03:44. > :03:47.engineer a second independence referendum has been the SNP's sole
:03:48. > :03:53.objective ever since last June. But it would be bad for Scotland, bad

:04:09. > :04:13.Parliament was to have a referendum, it would be an extremely
:04:14. > :04:19.undemocratic act to try and stop that. What if she still says no? The
:04:20. > :04:20.reality is we are then in a constitutional crisis because the
:04:21. > :04:24.Scottish Parliament has expressed constitutional crisis because the
:04:25. > :04:28.its opinion, is we have the awake or sitting down and discussing it. Can
:04:29. > :04:34.you have a referendum anyway? I do not think we are near that stage but
:04:35. > :04:37.view is there must be a referendum at the Scottish Parliament bowsprit.
:04:38. > :04:41.So what do SNP supporters think of it should do? I am sure she will
:04:42. > :04:46.have her away. I have full faith in Nicola Sturgeon. If the UK
:04:47. > :04:51.Government is unwilling to compromise, I think we should go for
:04:52. > :04:56.it. I don't think anyone here would want it to be that, I think we would
:04:57. > :04:59.want to have that agreement. This expert thinks this could be a
:05:00. > :05:05.lengthy dispute. This could go on for a very long time. It could go on
:05:06. > :05:11.for several years with neither side giving way and meanwhile has be
:05:12. > :05:14.negotiated. There is no obvious end to this stand-off between the
:05:15. > :05:19.Scottish and UK governments in sight. Unless, of course, there is a
