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.

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.
