PM Johnson Rejects Sturgeon's indyref2 demand
She gets a No.
[The UK government has formally rejected a call from Scotland's first minister for a second independence referendum. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said a referendum would "continue the political stagnation Scotland has seen for the past decade". And he said First Minister Nicola Sturgeon had previously pledged that the 2014 referendum would be a "once in a generation" vote. Ms Sturgeon tweeted that the Tories were attempting to "deny democracy".] Tough Titty TS. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla...itics-51106796 |
It would be silly to allow another for all sorts of reasons

Any Brexiter that demanded Brexit and made out that any attempts to oppose it is to oppose democracy YET oppose Scotland's right to choose whether they want to stay in the UK or not are complete and utter ****ing hypocrites and Boris is the king of their hypocritical kingdom.
Scotland voted overwhelmingly for the SNP which is anti-brexit and pro-Scotland's independence. The Tories dominance in the election was touted by brexiters as a sign that the public still want brexit yet they cover their eyes to the fact that Scotland is obviously telling us, in the same way, that they want an indyref. Any brexiter that would oppose Scotland's demand for an indyref is a hypocrite and a poser who only pretends to care about democracy when it benefits them. |
Well said Dezzy!
They only bleat about democracy when it suits them |

The last Scottish referendum was a "once in a lifetime vote". Having another one now because Nicola wants it isn't any more democratic than having a second Brexit referendum.

Giving the people a choice will always be the democratic option. Trying to peddle that another vote would be undemocratic is actually senseless and an example of the Brexiter attitude of 'it's democracy if I say so but if you oppose me, you oppose democracy itself'.
Every vote that has ever been presented to the public is democratic, it doesn't stop being democratic just because it doesn't suit you. |
...for me ‘once in a lifetime’ and ‘democratic’ contradict each other...once in a lifetime is not conducive to democracy...democracy is representative of a majority public and that will always be open to change, depending on many factors...it doesn’t represent a ‘one day in their life public’...that would be for me, everything that democracy isn’t...’you made that choice/decision, you can’t change it...time can evolve things into a completely different scenario so that your choice is not the choice that you considered at the time...and we can make any changes to choices but you can’t...’...etc, etc...makes no sense at all in progressiveness of any society that considers itself democratic...in my humblest of opinions of course...

The problem with offering another referendum is that we all know if the result didn't differ from the last one, it wouldn't take that long before yet another one would be requested and on it would go...

If the 'once in a lifetime' line was true, there would have been no EU ref since the last time we voted on the issue before 2016, we voted ourselves back in.
