They lost the referendum because they would also leave the EU if they left the UK at the time, and nobody wanted that. That's the main reason why that referendum failed. But now that the UK is leaving anyway the only thing really in the way of scottish independence is Johnson as he doesn't want to allow a vote.

This is just more of the same echo chamber nonsense we've heard for the past 3 years. Scotland had a ref 5 years ago and the polls have barely moved since.

Scottish Independence voting intention:

No: 56% (+5)
Yes: 44% (-5)

They lost because their economic predictions were a joke, they had no answer to what currency they'd use other than threatening to default on their debt if we don't allow them a seat at the Bank of England so they can print English pounds. Add a hard border and no guaranteed free trade deal and it's virtually a cert that the Scots will stay in the UK.

If the SNP really wanted independence, all they'd have to do is allow England a vote.
