. But the argument that the previous referendum was “once in a lifetime” is void in my opinion as the landscape has completely changed.
Has it really changed that much? Scotland being ‘forced against its will to leave the EU’ I believe was an excuse latched onto by the SNP to justify their calling for another referendum. If it hadn’t been for Brexit they would have found another reason why ‘the landscape had completely changed’ to require another vote. If Indyref2 goes ahead and No wins again I don’t think that will settle it, in a few more years they’ll be arguing for yet another due to some perceived injustice that only independence will solve.

The entire rationale of the SNP is independence for Scotland and nothing short of that will satisfy them. Nothing, no sensible arguments in favor of the Union and least of all a vote against by a majority of the people, will stand in the way of that goal.
