Have you noticed that people have become very undemocratic with the use of the word "democratic".

As far as I am aware democracy is something to do with the will of the people. If the will of the people changes, surely it is the job of political parties to react to that change...timescale would seem to have **** all to do with it.

The SNP's problem is not one of timescale; it is one of opinion. There is no evidence to suggest that the will of the people has changed in sufficient numbers since indyref1 - none whatsoever.

If, as a result of brexit, there was sufficient evidence that the will of the people had changed and that indyref2 would result in scexit, a referendum would be the sacred democratic response of ALL parties. At the moment, that scenario is purely hypothetical.

LOL, you guys. all this is just the warm up act. The real chaos and uncertainty kicks in after Article 50 is delivered. That's when life will get interesting. Incidentally, as Beags points out, NS is just doing the job she is paid and elected to do...sticking up for her people. I'm sure she has her own agenda too...doesn't every politician...indeed, don't you?
