But denying people a choice definitely is.

Honestly, any right wing/tory that's actively against an indyref for Scotland is an utter indefensible hypocrite given that they will bleat on about the importance of democracy when it comes to Brexit but they won't allow Scotland a chance to make their own decision regarding whether THEY want to exit the UK in light of everything.

Democracy is democracy. denying people the right to vote because you fear the result is the antithesis of democracy.
