The SNP very clearly stated in their 2015 manifesto that a second referendum would be considered if there was a significant change to the current situation. The Brexit vote is clearly significant, so it was inevitable that Sturgeon would push for this.

Yeah, I completely understand the reasoning for it.
Just a note in general about referendums really - part of me feels like we should have another EU one first after the 'deal' is put on the table - i.e., yes, leave EU and leave scotland, this is the deal, or stay in the EU with scotland under a different deal.
Part of me thinks we should just elect MPs and let them do it, or at least accept some longer-term responsibility.

I think its too early for another referendum. we should have a certain amount of time in between asking the same question surely.
Also - while I think the Scots should leave if they choose, but am english and don't them too, I question the motives of anyone that thinks its possible to have a serious debate about anything in the media these days, its almost not worth bothering.
