Voting SNP doesn't achieve much in WM. Labour is apparently Tory now. Will the Greens give us a referendum? We shouldn't need permission.

That trap in the Union is some 300 years old..... If Scotland consistently votes SNP it will eventually get IndyRef2 A one-off vote for a new far left UK-wide party is not in my estimation But like I said - do whatever you feel is best for you

Holyrood is not the obstacle - Westminster is Scotland needs events in England & Wales to fall their way (a parliament SNP MPs can define the majority) Or the assertion "a generation" has passed along with a strong will for IndyRef2 in Scotland I reckon a generation is at least 25 yrs = 2039

I think Brexit is reason enough for another referendum.

I think Brexit made referenda rather unpopular I further think - the independence case still needs strengthening in terms of how it would work to the benefit of Scots Example - how much can Scotland charge rUK for continued use of Faslane? For (when the time comes) supplying Scottish water south?

Why "Scottish Borders" is a thing, but "English Borders" is not? Not trying to make a point, just musing

Yeah absolutely. We need a clear plan. High level ofc. But lots of questions to be answered. That was the problem last time. They didn't even clarify what currency we'd use. It's a shame we had that referendum tbh. Because I think we'd be a lot closer this time.
