Albeit the various lockdowns have limited the dissemination of peoples views on independence but from what I have gathered in the last week or so the opinion about Independence is still very much the same. Scotland's 'overwhelming' mandate for independence and rejoining the EU by voting for the SNP can be countered by the fact that the SNP only gained one seat in the last election. This could be explained by Nicola's unique photo and TV opportunities during Covid. In the Brexit Referendum the majority of voters voted to Remain but the turnout was only 62% as against a much higher figure for the UK as a whole. Breaking down the figures it transpires that only 42% of the Scottish electorate voted to remain.
Hardly an overwhelming number. Westminster should bite the bullet and let Nichola hold another Referendum when this pandemic is over. It should return a similar figure to last time and with luck we can say goodbye to her.
