I hope they get their second indyref, I doubt it would shut her up if she lost again though
She seems to be of the "keep trying until we get the answer I want" school of democracy .

Is that not what has been done in 3 elections in 4 years until a substantial majority was won.

It's called democracy.

Plus the Scots were told in 2014, by Cameron, their best way to stay in the EU was to vote against independence.

Or does that statement not matter either.
That was sheer deceit in my view.

That is the very basis OF democracy...

The whole concept of the democratic process can be summed up as; "This is what we want right now, but ask again later because we might change our minds". That's how the whole thing works.
