Well you’ve kind of got the point there. Westminster could agree to another referendum, but what’s the best case scenario for unionists if that happens?
The best case scenario is that we win convincingly (again) and that just puts us right back into the situation we are just now. That situation being a load of separatists calling for an independence referendum. Only difference is this time they’re asking for Indyref3 instead of indyref2.
So, what’s the point in having one? The separatists have already shown that they won’t accept the result if they lose. Are we actually supposed to believe that it would be different second time round? Of course it wouldn’t be. Would you give up on it if you lost twice?
The dream will never die speeches will be rewritten and spoken the morning after and #indyref3 will be the next twitter trend.
Therefore unionists in Westminster and here have two options. Either we forever indulge neverendum separatists (until they win a referendum, in which case that will be the issue closed in their eyes) or shut them down.
We both know which of those options they’re going to choose.

 

In what way?

Do you agree that the reason for kicking the can down the road/refusal of a second referendum is that an independence vote would carry?

Yes or no?

I'll answer on Lex's behalf.  No.

Indyref1 was nonsense enough. No need to repeat it.

Yesss, your back...was worried about you.

Thanks, buddy.  Delighted that my old place of residence - Deeside - saved the union today.

The only way to settle indyref2 is to turn it into a proper "Loser Leaves Town" contest.

If No wins, then Nicola Sturgeon dissolves the SNP and exiles herself from politics forever. If Yes wins, then Johnson and Ross have to do the same and the Scottish Tories are dissolved.

Upvote if you would like to see this and think your side would win!! Downvote if you are a coward and are scared that your side would lose.

Nice to see you back! I hope things are going well.

I think your answer is deflection though.  The longer you play the Paisley "NO" card, the longer Johnson plays to the gallery, the longer he makes an arse of things well- it's not looking good for the union, eh?

You're worried. Lex is worried. Johnson is worried. 

We see you.

Are we currently independent? Naw.

Will you agree to the result of this election? Naw.

Time to put your big boy pants on and accept the result.

Personally, I would be delighted if we had an "abolish devolution" referendum.

If the Yoons win, Holyrood is abolished & we go back to Westminster ruling the whole UK.

If we win, Scotland becomes an independent nation.

If the Yoons had the balls to go for this, there would only be one winner. Unfortunately, as they know what the result would be, this option will never be offered...

Jackie Baillie is heart attack material and Willie Rennie could die in a freak photo-op accident but that seems like an outside chance.
They will want the Presiding Officer for the Indy ref stuff.
A majority is nice and all but it still takes the entire parliament coming together to beat them. What issue are the greens and tories aligned on?
I was thinking Baillie would be prime by-election material as well.

Looks like folk mistaking manky jaiket for the Greens could have cost them a seat in Glasgow and possibly the South of Scotland
Next time someone should run candidates for the Conversative & Onionists, the Literal Democrats and the Scotch Labour Party.
