Scotland`s economic case for independence must be `politically bomb-proof`

Scottish independence is not about sympathy but rather the grounds for its cessation from the U.
K.
should be based on "pure economic logic" with a "politically bomb-proof" plan to boot.
"If and when we get a chance to vote for independence then we need to make sure we put forward a technically accurate and politically bomb-proof plan," Stewart Hosie, economy spokesperson for Scotland`s National Party (SNP), told CNBC in a phone interview.
Scotland`s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon defiantly declared her mandate for a second referendum was "beyond question" after she received formal backing by the Scottish Parliament on Tuesday.
May officially pulled the Brexit trigger on Wednesday and, in doing so, kick-started the two-year countdown for Britain`s departure from the European Union.
However, the U.
K.
government has repeatedly blocked calls for a vote until after the Brexit process is complete with Britain`s Prime Minister Theresa May insistent that "now is not the time".
