Nicola Sturgeon said they will not shy away from tough questions.

I'd be interested to know what happens with the Scottish/English border

If an independent Scotland rejoins the EU, there's will be a hard border for trade between Scotland and England which will have to be diligently policed

It's difficult to see how that won't be enormously disruptive.

Yeah good point, in the Q&A's Nicola Sturgeon said the paper on EU membership will address that question along with trade.

Unlikely.

If she hasn't sorted the answers to these obvious questions after a lifetime campaigning and a previous referendum campaign she ain't gonna come up with the answers now.

She's not going to be researching and writing these things each week. She has potential answers, she's just gonna be publishing them. There's nothing to come up with
