The First Minister also has a mandate to represent the Scottish people, who voted to stay in the EU, and most whose elected officials are pro-EU. Not to say I disagree with you, but Nicola Sturgeon (her own political goals aside) is only being competent by exploring these possibilities. Views aside it's nice to see there's at least one British political leader that actually has plans and is publicly engaging in a conversation on what should be next.
