The host Sarah Smith criticised Ms Sturgeon for rushing this decision and her flawed reasoning for holding it in 2020. Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie also attacked the SNP leader for indecision and failing to clearly highlight how the complexities of independence would be overcome. The BBC host began: “Let me ask Nicola Sturgeon about the timing of this. “You are fairly insistent that another Independence referendum has to be held next year. “You say that is a red line for doing a deal with the Labour Party if that were to transpire. “Why does it have to be in such a hurry?” Ms Sturgeon replied: “Because Brexit is going to do real damage.  “If Brexit happens then the damage to Scotland’s economy, society and prospects of future generations is going to be significant.” The BBC host interrupted to say: “Brexit will have happened by the 31st of January. “So we will have left anyway.” Ms Sturgeon stuttered and replied: “The transition period will still be underway. “I think it is important for Scotland to make that choice.  The Scottish Lib Dem leader then began an attack on Sturgeon regarding the complexities of Scotland gaining independence from the UK. He said: “You don’t even know what currency you are going to have. “You don’t know if there is going to be a border at Gretna, there is just complete indecision.” Ms Sturgeon argued Scotland would use the pound but Mr Rennie retorted: “You say that this week. READ MORE: Conservative news: What happens if Tories win election? [INSIGHT]Nicola Sturgeon shamed as SNP leaders faces challenge on NHS [VIDEO]Labour feud: How Jeremy Corbyn hit out at 'out of sync' Ed Miliband [INSIGHT] Trending  “Then it will be the Euro or will it be the Scottish Pound, you are all over the place.” The SNP leader hit back by saying the Scottish Liberal Democrat leader was using project fear to sway the audience. An audience member then asked that both leaders stop speaking over one another as it was rude and unhelpful. Another audience member then took aim at both politicians for being “leaders in name only” and blamed them both for a divided political landscape.
