‘HOLYROOD does not consent to the EU (Withdrawal) Bill”. There you have it: a full blown constitutional crisis – a question of who rules. This is the first time in 20 years that the Scottish Parliament has said No to a Westminster request to invade its legal territory. It was a decisive vote by MSPs – 93/30 – leaving Ruth Davidson’s Scottish Tories isolated in the chamber, a pretty clear endorsement of Nicola Sturgeon’s dogged determination to defend the devolution settlement as she sees it. . http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/16228412.Iain_Macwhirter__What_if_MPs_were_to_agree_that_Holyrood_was_right_to_say_No_/
