The SNP leader confirmed her support for another vote on the UK’s relationship with the EU, even though it could come months before indyref2 .
Her party at Westminster has voted for a confirmatory vote on Brexit as a way of giving people the final say on any deal.
However, the SNP’s general election campaign has primarily focused on giving Scots the chance to escape Brexit via a second independence referendum in 2020.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has said he wants a second Brexit referendum within six months of him entering Downing street - leading to a potential clash of dates.
Asked at an event in Edinburgh today if it was possible there could be two referenda in 2020 - on Brexit and independence - Sturgeon replied:
“The one on Brexit, that’s not my decision alone, we would support it. Obviously I am focused on securing an independence referendum next year. The UK is in a mess, it’s got to [get] its way out of that mess, and Scotland has the right to choose its own future.”
Pressed on whether she supports a second Brexit referendum next year, she said: “Yes.”
