The refusal by Tory Ministers to entertain the prospect of a second independence referendum is anti-democratic.
A pro-indy majority of MSPs was returned at Holyrood and ignoring the result is disrespectful to voters. However, it does not follow that the next general election should become a vote on independence.
The Supreme Court will soon decide whether a Bill for Holyrood to unilaterally stage a referendum is legal. If, as seems likely, judges rule against the Government then Nicola Sturgeon wants the next election to be a “de facto” referendum.
