'Next general election is de-facto referendum' says Sturgeon after Supreme Court ruling

Description

Scotland's First Minister and leader of the SNP, Nicola Sturgeon, reacts to the UK Supreme Court ruling against her parliament's unilateral right to call an independence referendum, saying the next general election is "both the first and most obvious opportunity to seek...a de-facto referendum". Sturgeon, speaking shortly after the court delivered its ruling, also says "we must, and we will, find another democratic, lawful and constitutional means by which the Scottish people can express their will."

  • Lindsey Graham May Have Wanted To Phone His Re-Election In. Jamie Harrison Won't Let Him.

    South Carolina is a longtime bastion of Southern conservatism. And if former state Democratic Party chairman Jamie Harrison beats three-term GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham, it would be a jolt to Democrats across the country. According to Business Insider, the Senate race has become part of the expanded Democratic calculus for winning a Senate majority. Surveys conducted by Morning Consult and Quinnipiac University show the race as either tied or with one candidate holding a small lead. Lindsey Graham can't lead us in any direction because he traded his moral compass for petty political gain. He's forgotten about the people that he represents...You. Jamie Harrison Political campaign ad In total, Harrison has raised roughly $86 million for his campaign, while Graham raised about $30 million through June. In September, Graham appealed to supporters on Fox News, where he said that he 'was getting killed financially' by Harrison.
