There is no legal or constitutional prohibition whatsoever to that course. Anyone who claims that there is has the onus of explaining exactly what the barrier is, and to take into consideration matters like the following, which are inconsistent with the existence of any such obstacle: First Minister Sturgeon, who herself had been chiefly responsible for putting about the “referendum is the only way” heresy, reverted to the correct course when she stood up in the Scottish Parliament to deliver a ministerial statement on June 28 2022 and stated simply, clearly and unequivocally that “if the law says that is not possible, the General Election will be a de facto referendum.”
