The First Minister said she would 'seek to find a way in which the people of Scotland can express their views' after the Supreme Court verdict.
Nicola Sturgeon has declared she will not "allow Scottish democracy to be a prisoner of Westminster" after the Supreme Court struck down her referendum plan.
Speaking at a press conference in Edinburgh after the Supreme Court judgement, Sturgeon said her "preferred option" remained the Scottish and UK Governments reaching an agreement over how an IndyRef2 could take place. "If we win, then Scotland becomes independent. But if we don't, we don’t, and that is just the basic fact that the independence movement has to - and does - understand. That it is our duty to make and win the case for independence."
“In this case, for the SNP that will be to establish – just as in a referendum – majority support in Scotland for independence so that we can then achieve independence." Sturgeon ordered Scotland's top law officer, the Lord Advocate, to refer the case to the top court in a bid to break the constitutional log-jam. But Lord Reed, the Supreme Court president, delivered a firm rejection of the Scottish Government's arguments.
