SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon says Scottish independence won't be as chaotic as Brexit

Nicola Sturgeon has insisted there will be “nothing disorderly” about Scottish independence despite the chaos caused by Brexit. The First Minister was branded “deluded” by opponents after pledging a smooth transition to a separate Scottish state just days before she is due to update MSPs about her plans for IndyRef2 . Sturgeon was responding to a Fraser of Allander report which warned a “disorderly” Brexit risks a deep recession in Scotland. But asked if this meant the same was true of independence, Sturgeon said: “There will be nothing disorderly about Scottish independence when it happens.” The First Minister is expected to push for a second independence referendum when the Scottish Parliament returns from the Easter recess on Tuesday.
