NICOLA Sturgeon yesterday admitted an independent Scotland might not walk straight back into the EU.

Since then, Ms Sturgeon, who leads Scotland's devolved government, has been arguing that the country should be allowed to hold a referendum on independence at a time of its choosing.

Scotland's First Minister made it clear that the general election would be the main focus for her party (SNP) and that she hopes it will give Scotland a "stronger voice" in formulating Brexit terms, and eventually, demanding another independence referendum.

"There is a lot of concern, even among some people that voted Leave, that we are heading down the road of a very extreme Brexit", Sturgeon said on Sunday.

The June 23 Brexit referendum called the future of the United Kingdom into question because England and Wales voted to leave but Scotland and Northern Ireland voted to stay.
