With Indyref2 the SNP should follow their argument through…

The SNP have argued that the 2014 referendum is invalid and needs to be held again as Indyref2. Their argument is that Brexit was forced upon the Scottish because they did not vote to leave the European Union.

We need to ensure that the same problem the Brexit referendum caused Scotland is not be repeated again.

The demographics of pro-Independence in Scotland show that only a few regions would want to leave the UK. It is therefore equally obvious it would unfair for all regions of Scotland to be dragged out of the UK against their will.

Democracy is very important. No peoples should be trapped in an environment they do not wish to be a part of. At the same time, as the SNP rightly points out a large number of Scottish people should not have been dragged out of a Union that they wanted to remain a part of. The point made by the SNP should therefore also support this proposal.

The UK government should accept the perspective of the SNP. It should offer a new referendum on the basis that each administrative region of Scotland can decide its own future.

This should satisfy the very point that the SNP are so energetically arguing to justify Indyref2. It will restore a consistent basis for a second referendum that both the SNP and the rest of the UK must wholeheartedly support.
