In a democracy you can and do change your mind and by voting that change of opinion is expressed.
If voting is denied, then that could be from fear of the now result.
It's why we vote in elections every 4/5 years.
In fact the voters have been asked to change their minds between 2015 to 2020, 3 times in as many general elections.
The Scottish referendum was over 6 years ago now..
The EU one over 4 years ago
She's happy to hold more, with the support of her Party and the voters who back her in direct Scottish elections plus sending the vast majority of SNP MPs to Westminster.
So she has no issue with votes and democracy.
However the UK PM and government has.
Only one element fearing the result of more voting there that I can see.
Because they know they're wrong and doing wrong too.
