Poll: Support for Indyref2 slips amid Brexit wrangling - The Scotsman
Coupled with the fact that the economic conditions and oil price are a lot less robust looking than they were last time round.
And on top of that, the major thing that swung it "Better Together's" way last time was the uncertainty. That uncertainty has now gone into overdrive.
A Poll....by YouGov......the people who got the last GE and the Brexit polls so right. That's your basis for repeating Theresa May's 'keep saying it and it'll come true' facts.When freedom comes along, don't PISH in the water supply.....Comment

The uncertainty of leaving. Now the uncertainty is guaranteed, so there's nothing to lose.
If they vote for independence before Brexit fully plays out they will, amongst a plethora of other things,
1) Not know whether or not they will still be in the EU (probably not) or even if they will be allowed to join
2) Not know what currency they will use
There are too many canny and influential Scots to allow this leap of faith to occur without an awful lot more guarantees and certainty than Sturgeon and her cronies will ever be able to provide.“The period of the disintegration of the European Union has begun.

As Scotland takes back control...
Brexiters explain the difference:
1) Article 50 / Section 30 order of the Scotland Act.
2) EU single market (500m) / UK single market (60m)
3) Taking back control from EU / Scotland taking back control from an unelected Tory English PM.
The Irony.....
I can't wait to see who the Tories put up to argue for the union

Hardly a giant leap in the right direction is it? Pretty much the same percentage that "YES" polled in 2014. The real winners were the Tories whose share jumped by over 8%. I'm guessing they are mainly pro-union.
On top of that, 1/3 of those who voted YES in 2014 also voted for Brexit. Not sure you can fully count on all of those votes if it goes to another referendum.“The period of the disintegration of the European Union has begun. And the first vessel to have departed is Britain”Comment

Paying for your own Independance vote or getting England to pay?
etc.
Wait till you vote out, we will make you pay! Do you have a spare £50 Billion?

36% Ffffing per cent.
I'd call 44% a ringing endorsement with bells on.
