I don't know a single person who wants a second indyref and , in fact, everyone who broaches the subject does so with a weary resignation that the SNP will drag us into a second ref whatever the public mood and to spite the pubic mood. And since you've just outed yourself as a troll, it's on to the ignore list you go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your the SNP you just make the 2021 election the referendum, where you have no pro-Indy competition in the constituencies, and let the Unionists parties work out where they stand aside for each other without cutting each other's throats. Win the majority, declare independence. Could that actually work, do you think? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 (edited) Why should a referendum be predicated on an SNP majority? Surely it needs to just be a pro-independence (or at least a pro-referendum) majority? Which already exists. Bizarre.

Little Englander xenophobes have assured Tory rule for years and a right wing leaning, unwelcoming UK. f**k that, I feel quite bad at voting No in 2014. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be difficult to find any terminology that is not implicitly biased. Personally I think YES has more positive connotations than NO, equally I think REMAIN has more positive connotations than LEAVE. Anyone in favour of Independence would probably want YES/NO as the question. However even those oppossed to a further referendum or oppossed to Independence should favour those options if they genuinly support the democratic process as it is clear in the mind of the Scottish public what these options mean. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 'Submarine' May's usual tactic in this scenario is to hide and hope that it'll go away. Which looks a far more credible now, given the absolute trouncing that she is getting at the hands of Sturgeon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EU referendum wasn't about the creation of a new sovereign state. If there's a precedent, it's the wording of the first referendum question. One would think that polling data that was consistent with the outcome, combined with an acceptably low number of rejected ballots indicates that the question was spot on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
