Will enough people have changed their minds since 2014? Even if they have it's not independence they are after anyway, more like subjugation in the EU.

In the immediate wake of the referendum result I did flirt with the idea of an Independent Scotland. I'm still more open to the possibility than I was before it. On the other hand, time (and very little of substance actually changing) has helped me to calm down a little (just for the record, anyone who read my posts on AB should see that I was expecting this to happen).
For myself, I don't see the point of Scotland leaving the UK or even considering it until at the earliest it's actually understood what Brexit will mean. I suspect that the fear is that Brexit will mean unfettered Tory government but I just don't see that as a reason to break up the country -- not least because this isn't really anything to do with Brexit but Labour chaos. Whatever the future direction of the UK, the people of Scotland surely have to see it before deciding whether or not to reject it.
I'd say Independence is back on the table for sure, but the change implied by the EU referendum has to happen first.

Why should she accept the result of a referendum when the first thing the Brexit "remainers" did was raise a petition to rerun the brexit referendum because they didn't like the outcome and there was allegedly some vague legal reason it might be illegal.
The biggest loss since indy ref 1 has been the lack of respect for the democracy of this country; we vote and respect the decision whether we like it or not.

"The Will Of Her People"?
TTT, you seem to believe that the will of a people is fixed and permanent. Surely all you need to do is look at the political history of the UK to see that is an absurdity. In the past 50 years we have had ten different governments... Tory or Labour...split exactly 5 of each!
Are you suggesting that, once we've elected one lot, they should remain in power permanently thereafter? People are perfectly capable of changing their minds about independence in exactly the same way, surely?
