Letters: The sophistry behind SNP demands for a second independence vote Letters to the Editor © pool/getty Nicola Sturgeon - pool/getty SIR – Historians looking back will think the British Government mad if it accedes to SNP demands for another independence referendum. With a 63 per cent turnout and 47.7 per cent of the vote, only 30 per cent of the Scottish electorate and 2.7 per cent of the British electorate actually supported this demand. The idea that, so soon after gaining its own independence, Britain should hand back a strategically important part of our country to the now somewhat hostile Franco-German hegemony we have only just escaped is preposterous. Britain is still part of the friendly worldwide Commonwealth of nations that the Scots and English created. Now that we are free of the EU, that is where our future lies.
