Given the UKSC decision that the power to hold an independence referendum is outwith the competence of ScotParl, what do other editors believe the future of this section should be? Much of the content relates to the debate around whether the Parliament is or isn't comeptence, which given the UKSC decision was unanimous, is unlikely to be further questioned. Of course, it is possible that nationalist parties do not accept the ruling, but I personally find that unlikely.
In my view, the section should be mostly deleted and replaced with a paragraph detailing the official position and another outlining how that was reached (i.e. giving the opposing argument that the Parliament should have been ruled competent). Jèrriais janne ( talk) 10:16, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
the section should be mostly deleted and replaced with a paragraph detailing the official position and another outlining how that was reached: that would not adhere to NPOV, privileging as it does the views of one group to the exclusion of all others (including scholarship etc).

Is a confederation really the “third option” in the debate? I believe Devo-max or Federalism is known more than Confederalism? The source used relates to Wales not Scotland. Seems a bit WP:SYNTH. Dank Jae 09:52, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
Surely at least a mention of Red Clydeside is in order?
John Maclean has became almost a martyr to many in the Pro-Indy Left.
He advocated for revolution and was incredibly popular when alive.
He was imprisoned due to his anti-First World War stance and just shortly after being released due to him going a 4 month uninterrupted hunger strike. Theslipperylemur ( talk) 19:24, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
This is a very long article which I think needs to be shortened considerably. Do we need the issues section? AlloDoon ( talk) 22:42, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
While it’s often said the McCrone report was hidden, according to Gavin McCrone himself, it wasn’t hidden. Newmate12 ( talk) 14:31, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
